विसर्प — कर्मविपाकः
क्षीराब्धौ यस्य शय्या च वासुदेवस्य शार्ङ्गिणः ।स्वीयदानेन नागोऽसौ सर्वव्याधिं व्यपोहतु ॥
He is the bed of Vasudeva (Vishnu), who holds the Sharnga bow, in the ocean of milk. May this snake, given as my gift, take away every sickness.
Classical view, not medical advice.
वैसर्पकविकारं च त्वग्दोषजनितं तथा ।
May he take away my spreading rash, and the trouble from the skin or from bad blood. May he take away the trouble that comes from the mother's side…
इति दानमंत्रः ।
This is the mantra for the dana (gift).
एवं दत्वा तु तन्नागमाचार्याय सदक्षिणम् ।
Having given that snake to the acharya (teacher) with a fee, he should bow to the ground with his head. Then he should walk slowly a hundred steps.
