Karma Vipaka Samhita · Chapter 105
उत्तराभाद्रपदा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
This chapter of Karma Vipaka Samhita is for uttara bhadrapada 2nd pada. In the story, a salt-maker in the city of Manika goes with a brahmin woman.
Classical view, not medical advice.
The book links this wrong to troubles in a later birth. Shiva then gives a short remedy: an eighth of the household wealth to please brahmins. He hears the Harivamsha by the rules, feeds brahmins and has a pumpkin given.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
