Chapter 88 · Netra roga: past deeds
नेत्ररोग — कर्मविपाकः
घृतेन चरुणा चैव नेत्रहीनो हुताशने ॥जुहुयादयुतं सम्यगिति शास्त्रविनिश्चयः ।
The man who has lost his sight should offer ghee and charu (rice offering) into the fire. He should do it rightly, ten thousand times. This is the sure word of the shastra.
Classical view, not medical advice.
कूर्म पुराणे ।
In the Kurma Purana: he should give twelve nishka (gold coin weight) and red cloths.
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)…
दीपकं भंजयित्वा तु तिमिरव्याधिमान्भवेत् ।
One who breaks a lamp may have dim sight.
