Chapter 1 · The Opening Rite
पूजनविधिः
अथ पृच्छकनियमः ।पापी चैव दुराचारी परनिन्दापरो जनः ॥ब्रह्महा हेमहारी च सुरापी गुरुतल्पगः ॥ १९ ॥
Now the rule for the one who asks. He says: Sinning, bad conduct, running down others. Killing a brahmin, stealing gold, drinking wine, lying with the teacher's wife.
Classical view, not medical advice.
स्त्रीहन्ता बालघाती च अगम्यागमनं तथा ॥
Killing women, killing children, going to forbidden women. Sins like these I did in my past life.
कृतानि विविधान्येव सर्वाणि मार्ष्टुमर्हसि ॥
I did many kinds of them. Please wipe all of them away. I have come to you for shelter. You should lift me up.
ममोपरि कृपां कृत्वा कर्म मे कथय प्रभो ॥
Be kind to me, O lord, and tell me my deeds. Cast the rising sign for this moment, and look at the birth chart.
