Chapter 16 · Rohini 1st Pada
रोहिणी नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
पार्थिवं तिलपिष्टेन गोमयेन तथा प्रिये ॥पूजयामास विधिवद्भक्तियुक्तेन चेतसा ॥ ९ ॥
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.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
कूपं खातं ततो देवि वाटिकां चैव कारयेत् ॥
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.
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.
