Chapter 72 · Bhagandara: past deeds
भगंदर — कर्मविपाकः
ततो ब्राह्मणमाहूय सर्वशास्त्रार्थकोविदम् ।आदित्यादिग्रहाः सर्वे नवरत्नप्रदानतः ॥विनाशयंतु मे दुष्टं क्षिप्रमेव भगंदरम् ।
Then he should call a priest who knows the meaning of all the texts. He says: May all the planets, the Sun and the rest, be pleased by the gift of the nine jewels. May they quickly destroy my bad fistula.
Classical view, not medical advice.
पूर्ववत् ग्रहयज्ञोक्तमार्गेणेत्यर्थः ।
'As before' means: in the way told for the graha yajna (fire rite for the planets).
अनेन कर्मणा भूतं यथावद्विहितेन तु ॥
The text says this rite must be done rightly, as laid down. By it, the person with fistula becomes free of illness, without doubt.
इति भगंदरे नवरत्नदानविधिः ।
This is the rule of the gift of the nine jewels for fistula.
