Karma Vipaka Samhita · by Anonymous
Chapter 10 · Bharani 3rd Pada
भरणी नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
मध्यदेशे विशालाक्षि पूर्वकर्मफलेन हि ॥पुत्रो न जायते देवि गर्भपातस्तथा शिवे ॥ ८ ॥
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.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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).
प्रतिमां कारयेद्देवि वृषमेकं विभूषितम् ॥
Have an image made, O Goddess: one adorned bull. Worship it by the rule with a Shiva mantra (sacred words) from the Vedas.
