Chapter 13 · Krittika 2nd Pada
कृत्तिका नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
मृतवत्सा भवेन्नारी रोगाश्च विविधाः प्रिये ॥शान्तिं तस्य प्रवक्ष्यामि यतः पुत्रमवाप्स्यते ॥१३॥
The woman becomes a mritavatsa (one whose children die young), and diseases of many kinds come, dear one. I will tell the remedy by which he will gain a son.
Classical view, not medical advice.
गायत्रीलक्षजाप्येन त्र्यम्बकेण तथा प्रिये ॥
Do Gayatri (a sacred Vedic chant) japa (repeating a mantra) 100,000 times, and the Tryambaka mantra (sacred words), dear one. A homa (fire offering)…
दशवर्णाश्च गा दद्याद्विधिवद्ब्राह्मणाय वै ॥
He should give cows as dashavarna (a gift of ten colours) to a brahmin by the rule. He should feed a hundred brahmins who know the Vedas to the end.
एवं कृतेन भो देवि पुत्रश्चैव प्रजायते ॥
By doing this, O Goddess, a son is born. Diseases go away and the past sin is ended.
