विसर्प — कर्मविपाकः
वैसर्पकविकारं च त्वग्दोषजनितं तथा ।रक्तदोषोद्भवं वापि मातृतः पितृतोपि वा ॥अंगप्रत्यंगसंभूतं विकारं मे व्यपोहतु ॥
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 or the father's side. May he take away the trouble that arises in the limbs and their smaller parts.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
आचार्येणाप्यनुज्ञातः स्वगृहं प्रविशेत्ततः ।
When the acharya (teacher) allows it, he should then enter his own house. He should feed priests and then eat himself with his relatives.
