Jupiter brings ajirna (indigestion) and weak digestive fire. To ease them, and to please him, do the japa (repeating a mantra) and homa (fire offering) as told. The Vedic mantra that begins "brihaspate atiyad" is used for japa. The homa is with sesame, ghee and ashvattha (sacred fig tree) samidh (sacred firewood). Give yellow cloth as dana (gift). Take a snana (ritual bath) too.
