Chapter 17 · Rohini 2nd Pada
रोहिणी नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
धनधान्यसमायुक्तो धर्मे मतिरथाधिका ॥पुत्राश्च बहवस्तेषां मरणं चैव जायते ॥ ६ ॥
He is rich in money and grain, and his mind leans more toward duty. Many sons are born to them, and they die.
Classical view, not medical advice.
कन्यका विविधास्तासां मृत्युश्चैव प्रजायते ॥
Many daughters are born, and they die too. Then he suffers loss again, and he has much illness.
तस्य शान्तिं प्रवक्ष्यामि यत्कृतं पूर्वजन्मनि ॥
I will tell the remedy for what he did in his past life. Let him have 100,000 japa (repeating a mantra) done with the Tryambaka mantra (sacred words).
देवस्य प्रतिमां कृत्वा पूजयेच्चैव शास्त्रतः ॥
Let him make an image of the god and worship it by the rules. Let him make a Shiva of gold, weighing five pala (a unit of weight).
