Chapter 16 · Rohini 1st Pada
रोहिणी नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
कूपं खातं ततो देवि वाटिकां चैव कारयेत् ॥एवं कृते न संदेहो रोगनाशो भवेदनु ॥ ११ ॥
O Goddess, let him have a well dug and a garden made. When this is done, there is no doubt. The illness goes away after that.
Classical view, not medical advice.
पार्थिवं तिलपिष्टेन गोमयेन तथा प्रिये ॥
Dear one, let him make an earthen image from sesame paste and cow dung. Let him worship it by the rules, with a mind full of devotion.
होमं वै कारयेद्देवि षडंशं दक्षिणां ततः ॥
O Goddess, let him have a homa (fire offering) of one sixth part done. Then he gives the fee. He gives gold to the teacher to cleanse the old sin.
कन्यका न भवेद्देवि पुत्रश्चैव प्रजायते ॥
O Goddess, no daughter is born, and a son is born. A mritavatsa (one whose children die young) gets a fine son who lives long.
