Karma Vipaka Samhita · by Anonymous
Chapter 10 · Bharani 3rd Pada
भरणी नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
ततः पुण्यक्षये जाते मर्त्यलोके वरानने ॥अवन्तीनगरे जातौ धनधान्यसमन्वितौ ॥ ७ ॥
When their merit ran out, O fair-faced one, they were born in the mortal world. They were born in the town of Avanti, with wealth and grain.
Classical view, not medical advice.
मध्यदेशे विशालाक्षि पूर्वकर्मफलेन हि ॥
In the middle country, O large-eyed one, through the fruit of past deeds, no son is born, O Goddess. There is a miscarriage too, O Parvati.
कन्यका वै प्रजायेत वारं वारं वरानने ॥
Daughters are born again and again, O fair-faced one. Fever rises in the body, of a middling kind.
प्रायश्चित्तं प्रवक्ष्यामि पूर्वपापविशुद्धये ॥
I will tell the prayashchitta (remedy for a past wrong) to wash away the past sin. Make a shining bull of gold, of five pala (a unit of weight).
