Karma Vipaka Samhita · by Anonymous
Chapter 2 · Ashvini and the Four Quarters
अश्विनी नक्षत्र चरण विचारः
अनिष्टं नागलोके च नरके विविधे तथा ॥इष्टं स्वर्गे फलं देवि मिश्रं मर्त्ये प्रजायते ॥ १७ ॥
The bad fruit is in the world of the serpents and in the many hells. O Goddess, the good fruit is in heaven. The mixed fruit is born in the world of mortals.
Classical view, not medical advice.
रोगतश्चेष्टया देवि ज्ञेयं सर्वं शुभाशुभम् ॥
Know all good and bad from the illness and from the person's acts. A man with consumption was a killer of a brahmin in his past life.
पुत्रकन्याविहीनो यो गोत्रहा गुरुहा भवेत् ॥
One without sons and daughters killed a kinsman or his teacher. A man with a pale-skin sickness never worshipped the gods.
कन्यापत्यं भवेद्यस्य वेदनिन्दा कृता तदा ॥
One who has only daughters once spoke against the Vedas. One who killed a girl or a bird: his wife does not live.
