Chapter 102 · A Brahmin Who Left His Parents
पूर्वाभाद्रपदा नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
शान्तिं शृणु वरारोहे यतः पुत्रो हि जायते ॥गृहवित्ताष्टमं भागं पुण्यकार्यं च कारयेत् ॥ १० ॥
Hear the remedy, O fair one, by which a son is born. He should do holy works with one eighth of the wealth of his house.
Classical view, not medical advice.
पलपञ्चसुवर्णस्य गणाध्यक्षस्य चाकृतिम् ॥
He should make a golden image of Ganesha (the lord of Shiva's hosts) of five pala (a unit of weight). Then he should worship it, O keeper of vows…
गणाध्यक्ष सुरेशान सर्वोपद्रवनाशन ॥
"O Lord of the hosts, Lord of the gods, destroyer of every trouble. Take away my past wrong, O remover of sorrow."
एवं कृत्वा विधानं च ब्राह्मणाय समर्पयेत् ॥
After doing the rite, he should give the image to a brahmin. Then a family line is born, and illness is destroyed.
