Nasa roga (nose trouble) - past deeds
अथ नासारोगस्य कर्मविपाके हेतुमाह तत्प्रतीकारं च। यथोक्तं गौतमीये । विद्यमानाविद्यमानपरदोषस्य प्रख्यापनशीलः पिशुनः दुर्गंधनासिको भवति । किंच नासासंकोचनादिना परदोषदर्शकोवा । स तत्पापोपशांतये कृच्छ्रद्वयं तत्प्रत्याम्नाये सुवर्णं वा दद्यात् ।
Next, the cause of nose trouble in karmavipaka (fruit of past deeds), and its remedy, are told. As the Gautamiya text says: one who loves to spread the faults of others, real or unreal, is a backbiter. He may be born with a foul-smelling nose. The same may happen to one who points out the faults of others by wrinkling his nose and the like. To ease that sin he should do two krichchhra (penance fast), or give gold in their place.
Nasa roga (nose trouble) - past deeds
अपरंच क्रियानुष्ठानकाले कुक्कुटखरादीन्कामाद्य ईक्षते स नासिकाव्रणी भवति । कृच्छ्रसांतपनादि प्रागुक्तं विदध्यात् ।
Also: one who looks on purpose at cocks, donkeys and the like during a rite may get sores in the nose. He should do the krichchhra (penance fast) and the santapana (a penance fast with cow products). He should also do the other fasts told before.
Nasa roga (nose trouble) - past deeds
उद्वयमित्यृचा चरुघृताभ्यां जुहुयात् । श्रीसूक्तं जपेत् । रक्षां तस्य शिखायां दूर्वाक्षतैर्बध्नीयात् । इति नासारोगः ॥
He should do homa (fire offering) with charu (rice offering) and ajya (ghee). The rik (Vedic verse) for it begins "ud vayam". He should do japa (repeating a mantra) of the Shri sukta (Vedic hymn). With durva (durva grass) and whole rice grains, he should tie a protective thread on the sick person's tuft. This ends [the part on] nose trouble.
Unit 86.1 links spreading the faults of others, real or unreal, to it, and sets two penance fasts or gold in their place.
