Chapter 6 · Children in the Birth Chart
पुत्रभावविचाराध्यायः
बुधशुक्रकृते दोषे सुताप्तिः शिवपूजनात् ।गुरुचन्द्रकृते दोषे यन्त्रमन्त्रौषधीबलात् ॥ १८ ॥
If the fault comes from Mercury and Venus, a child comes by the worship of Shiva. If the fault comes from Jupiter and the Moon, a child comes by the power of three things. They are a yantra (a sacred diagram), a mantra (a sacred chant) and medicines.
Simple meaning: For a fault from Mercury or Venus, worship Shiva. For Jupiter or Moon, use yantra, mantra and medicine.
यदागुसूर्य्यारशनैश्चराणां
A fault from Rahu, Sun, Mars or Saturn is linked, in the old view, to a risk to a son.
राहुणा कन्यकादानं भानुना हरिकीर्तनम् ।
Remedies: Rahu, a daughter's marriage gift; Sun, praises of Hari; Ketu, a tawny cow; Saturn and Mars, a six-part rite.
सर्वदोष विनाशाय सन्तानहरिपूजनम् ।
To remove every fault, worship Hari for children and keep the Mars vow and the Kamadeva vow.
