Chapter 76 · Kushtha: past deeds
कुष्ठ — कर्मविपाकः
प्राङ्मुखो व्याधितो दद्यान्मंत्रेणानेन धर्मतः ।अष्टमूर्ते महेशान कृपया वृषभध्वज ॥
The sick person, facing east, should give it by this mantra, as is right: O eight-formed great lord, bull-bannered one, in your mercy,
Classical view, not medical advice.
श्वेतमौदुंबरं सर्वमथ वा श्वेतमेव च
whether it is the white kind, or every audumbara kind, or only white; whether it comes from the three humours, or comes in round patches, O sinless…
पूर्वकर्मविपाकोत्थं पार्वतीनाथ सर्वग ।
since it rises from the fruit of past deeds: O lord of Parvati, who are everywhere, O lord of all, be the one who destroys kushtha (skin disease)…
इति कुष्ठहरोरौप्यवृषभदानविधिः ।
This is the rule of the gift of a silver bull that takes away kushtha (skin disease).
