Pasupata Toga1 - Verse 46-49

In the state of consumption and leprosy, the Sattvika breath shall be centred on the parts affected. If a part is affected by Rajas, the Yoga shall be practised with respect to that particular part. If a Brahmana practising Yoga, suffers from illness the following treatment should be pursued. His head shall be beaten with a wedge of bamboo or the wedge shall be placed on his head and beaten with a wooden stick. Thus overwhelmed by fear, he will regain consciousness. Or if he has lost consciousness he can be held with hands. After regaining consciousness he should retain Dharana in the head. He shall eat oily substance yet in small quantity. Thus the Yogin becomes happy.
