Chapter 76 · Kushtha: past deeds
कुष्ठ — कर्मविपाकः
तथा च वायुपुराणे ।कुष्ठी स्तेयी नरो भवेत् ।अथ कुष्ठहरं वक्ष्ये वृषदानमनुत्तमम् ॥
And in the Vayu Purana: A man who is a thief may become one with kushtha (skin disease). Now I will tell the best gift of a bull, which takes away kushtha.
Classical view, not medical advice.
यः कुर्यात्कुष्ठरोगार्तः शरीरसुखकारकम् ।

राजतं वृषभं शुभ्रं हेमशृंगविभूषितम्
It is a white silver bull with golden horns. He should make it with Maheshvara and Uma seated on it.
सौवर्णे प्रतिमे द्वे तु पूर्वोक्तेन क्रमेण तु ।
There are two gold images, made in the way told before, as his means allow. He should not be miserly with his wealth.
