The Sage said — O Maitreya! Now I will describe to you the remedial measures to be adopted to ensure relief from the evil effects of Jyestha Gandanta. The erection of a canopy (मण्डप), installation of Kalasha, selection of a priest etc., will be done in the same manner as has been recommended for the Abhukta Moola in the previous chapter. In this ceremony Indra will be the Deity-in-chief, Adhideva will be Agni (Fire) and the Pratyadhideva will be Rakshasa.

ज्येष्ठागण्डान्तजातस्तु पितुः स्वस्य च नाशकः । तस्य शान्तिविधिं वश्ये सर्वविघ्नहरी दिज ! । । 1 । । ज्येष्ठा गण्ड या गण्डान्त में उत्पन्न होने पर माता-पिता व स्वयं का नाश होता है । अतः सब दोषों के निवारणार्थ शान्तिविधान कहता हूँ ।
