क्षुद्ररोग — कर्मविपाकः
अस्य प्रायश्चित्तं निराहारी त्रिरात्रमुपवासी होमं व्याहृतिभिः । पापनाशार्थं पवमानसूक्तं जपेत्। ऋग्विधानेऽभिहितं हिरण्यदानं च कुर्यात्।
The prayashchitta (making amends) for this: three nights without food, fasting, and homa (fire offering) with the vyahritis (the sacred calls bhur, bhuvah, svah). To remove the sin, he should do japa (repeating a mantra) of the Pavamana sukta (Vedic hymn). He should also give gold, as the Rigvidhana (a text on the use of Vedic verses) says.
Classical view, not medical advice.
( ब्रह्मांडपुराणे ) । अस्य बलिः । रत्नदधिक्षीरमूलकतिलपिष्टलाजगंधपुष्पधूपदीपवस्त्रैः सार्धं गृहीत्वा चतुष्पथे बलिं क्षिपेत् ।
(From the Brahmanda Purana.) Now the offering for this. He should take jewels, curds, milk, radish, sesame paste, parched rice, scent, flowers…
अनेनमंत्रेण ।
With this mantra: "Take this offering, O Hastipada (elephant-foot), great seizing spirit. Give the sick person ease and success, O mighty one."
इति वल्मीकपादहरणविधिः ।
This ends the rite for removing valmikapada (swollen feet).
