Karma Vipaka Samhita · by Anonymous
Chapter 19 · Rohini 4th Pada
रोहिणी नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
रोगः प्रमुच्यते तस्य वन्ध्यत्वं च प्रणश्यति ॥मृतवत्सा लभेत्पुत्रं कन्यका नैव जायते ॥ १३ ॥
His illness is lifted. His childlessness is destroyed. A mritavatsa (one whose children die young) gets a son. No daughter is born.
Classical view, not medical advice.
दशवर्णाः प्रदातव्या गुडधेनुस्तथा प्रिये ॥
Dear one, he must give dashavarna (a gift of ten colours), and a cow made of jaggery. With care, by the rules, he gives a bed to a brahmin.
भोजयेद्ब्राह्मणान् शुद्धान् वेदपाठरतान् प्रिये ॥
Dear one, let him feed pure brahmins who love reciting the Vedas. They number seventy-seven. They are initiated and have clean minds.
प्रयागे माघमासे वै प्रातःस्नानं सभार्यया ॥
In Prayaga, in the month of Magha, he bathes in the morning with his wife. When this is done, there is no doubt. A son is born to him.
