कुष्ठ — कर्मविपाकः
ततश्च ब्राह्मणान्सम्यक् प्रणिपत्य क्षमापयेत् ॥ब्राह्मणान् भोजयेत्पश्चात्स्वयं भुंजीत वाग्यनः ॥एवं दत्वा महादानं दद्रुरोगात्प्रमुच्यते ।
Then he should bow well to the priests and ask their forgiveness. After that he should feed the priests, and eat himself, keeping silent. The text says that by giving this great gift he is freed from dadru (ringworm).
Classical view, not medical advice.
मंत्रेणानेन विधिवद्दद्रुरोगी जितात्मवान् ।
By this mantra, the person with dadru (ringworm) should give it by the rule, with self-control: May the Lord who lives on Kailasa with Uma…

This is the mantra of the gift.
इति दद्रूरोगहर उमामहेश्वरदानविधिः ॥
This is the rule of the gift of Uma and Maheshvara, which takes away dadru (ringworm).
