Chapter 108 · A Hunter of Magadha
रेवती नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
ततो वै भोजयेद्भक्त्या द्विजान् देवि दशांशतः ॥दशवर्णां ततो दद्याद्वृषभं भूषितं शुभम् ॥ १० ॥
Then he should feed brahmins with devotion, one tenth of that, O Goddess. Then he should give a dashavarna (a gift of ten colours) and a fine, decorated bull.
Classical view, not medical advice.
दशायुतजपं कुर्याद्दशांशं हवनं ततः ॥
He should do a hundred thousand (ten times ten thousand) japa (repeating a mantra). Then a homa (fire offering) of one tenth of that. Then a tarpana…
पलपञ्चसुवर्णस्य माल्यं मेरुयुतं तु वै ॥
He should give a brahmin a garland of five pala (a unit of weight) of gold. It has a Meru (the head bead). Right after that comes a gift of a bed.
एवं कृते वरारोहे पुत्रः खलु प्रजायते ॥
When this is done, O fair one, a son is truly born. Illness is destroyed. A kakavandhya (a woman who has only one child) gets a son.
