Chapter 88 · Netra roga: past deeds
नेत्ररोग — कर्मविपाकः
अपरं च यः पूर्वजन्मनि ब्राह्मणदेवमंदिरे वर्तमानं ज्वलंतं दीपं निर्वापयति सोऽन्यजन्मनि तिमिरव्याधिर्भवति । समस्तभूमिदैवतमंत्रान् जपेत् । जलमभिमंत्र्य सर्वांगेषु प्रोक्षयेत् मुक्तो भवति । महादेवस्य सहस्रकलशाभिषेकं कुर्यात् ॥
Also: one who in a past life puts out a burning lamp may be born with dim sight in another life. The lamp stood in the temple of a brahmana (priest) or a god. He should do japa (repeating a mantra) of the mantras of all the earth gods. He should charm water with a mantra and sprinkle it over all his limbs. The text says he then becomes free of it. He should do the abhisheka (ritual pouring of water) of Mahadeva with a thousand water pots.
Classical view, not medical advice.
दीपकं भंजयित्वा तु तिमिरव्याधिमान्भवेत् ।
One who breaks a lamp may have dim sight.
इति वचनात् । इति तिमिरहरः ।
So the text says. This ends the remedy for dim sight.
अथाक्षिवेदनायां — — पद्मपुराणे ।
Next, for eye pain, from the Padma Purana: in another life, eye pain comes from harming an eye. I will tell its remedy, spoken long ago by Brahma.
