sanskrit

After performing the surgery (śastram avacārya), the patient should be comforted by applying cold water (śītābhir adbhir). Then, press the area around the wound gently with fingers (samantāt paripīḍya aṅgulyā), massage the wound, and clean it with a decoction (kṣāyeṇa prakṣālya). After that, take clean water and apply a medicated wick (protena udakam ādāya... vartiṃ), which should be neither too greasy nor too dry, made from a paste of sesame, honey, and ghee (tilakalka-madhu-sarpiḥ). Cover the wound with a herbal paste (kalkena), place a dense cotton dressing (kavalikā), and bind it with a cloth (vastrapṭṭena badhnīyāt). Finally, fumigate the wound with pain-relieving and evil-repelling smoke (vedanā-rakṣoghnair dhūpaiḥ), and chant protective mantras (rakṣoghnair mantraiḥ) to safeguard the patient.

After that, fumigate the wound with a mixture of powdered guggulu (Indian bdellium), aguru (eaglewood), sarjarasa (resin), vacā (sweet flag), gaura (a type of fragrant herb), mustard seeds, salt, and nimba (neem) leaves, all blended with ghee (ghṛta). After the fumigation, anoint the patient’s vital areas with the remaining ghee (ājyaśeṣeṇa prāṇān samālambhet). This procedure aims to ensure proper healing and protection of the patient.

sanskrit

For the purpose of countering harmful actions (kṛtyānāṃ pratighātārthaṃ) and warding off the fear of malevolent spirits (rakṣobhayaṃ), I shall perform the protective ritual (rakṣākarm kariṣyāmi). May Brahmā approve of it (brahmā tad anumanyatām). This verse reflects the invocation of divine approval, specifically from Brahmā, before proceeding with the protective rituals, ensuring that both spiritual and practical harm is mitigated.
