Chapter 15 · Krittika 4th Pada
कृत्तिका नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
ऋणसंबन्धतो देवि वैश्यः पुत्रत्वमागतः ॥प्रत्यहं तस्य वै द्रव्यं व्ययं कुर्याद्दिने दिने ॥ ८ ॥
Through the debt, the merchant came as his son, O Goddess. Every day he spent that man's wealth, day after day.
Classical view, not medical advice.
मद्यवेश्याप्रदानेन धनं सर्वं व्ययं कृतम् ॥
All the wealth was spent on wine and harlots. When a son was born and became a young man, dear one,
तदा मृत्युमवाप्नोति शोकं दत्त्वा तयोस्तदा ॥
he died, giving grief to both of them. Then no son was born again, by the ripening of a past life.
प्रायश्चित्तं प्रवक्ष्यामि पूर्वपापविशुद्धये ॥
I will tell the prayashchitta (remedy for a past wrong) to wash away the past sin. Do Gayatri (a sacred Vedic chant) japa (repeating a mantra)…
