Chapter 80 · Visarpa: past deeds
विसर्प — कर्मविपाकः
इति दानमंत्रः ।
This is the mantra for the dana (gift).
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
इति विसर्पपिटिकस्फोटादिहरनागदानविधिः ॥
This ends the rite of giving the snake that takes away spreading rash, boils and blisters.
