कर्णरोग — कर्मविपाकः
इति वाक्यात् अपरं च मातापित्रोर्देवब्राह्मणानां गुरूणां चान्येन क्रियमाणां यो निंदां शृणोति सः कर्णशूली प्रस्रवत्पूयशोणितो भवति । तदुपशांतये हिरण्यं रक्तवाससां दानं ब्राह्मणानां च भोजनं दद्यात्।
So the text says. Also: one who listens while others speak ill of his parents, the gods, brahmanas (priests) or teachers may suffer ear pain. Pus and blood may flow from the ear. To bring peace to it, he should give gold and red cloth. He should also feed brahmanas.
Classical view, not medical advice.
सर्वाचार विहीनः प्रेतश्राद्धभोक्ता कृमिकर्णो भवति ।
Take one who has dropped all right conduct. He eats at a shraddha (ancestor rite) held for a preta (ghost), one newly dead. He may get worms in the…
दद्यान्नीलवृषंचान्नं कृमिकर्णो नृपोत्तम ।
O best of kings, for worms in the ear he should give a blue bull and food.
इति कर्णरोगप्रतीकारः ।
This ends the remedy for ear trouble.
