भरणी नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
कन्यका वै प्रजायेत वारं वारं वरानने ॥शरीरे च ज्वरोत्पत्तिर्मध्यमा च प्रजायने ॥ ९ ॥
Daughters are born again and again, O fair-faced one. Fever rises in the body, of a middling kind.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
प्रदद्याद्विदुषे तस्मै ज्ञानिने शुद्धबुद्धये ॥
Give it to a learned, wise one with a pure mind. Do japa (repeating a mantra) of the mantra (sacred words) 'Namah Shivaya' 100,000 times with care…
