Karma Vipaka Samhita · by Anonymous
Chapter 2 · Ashvini and the Four Quarters
अश्विनी नक्षत्र चरण विचारः
रोगतश्चेष्टया देवि ज्ञेयं सर्वं शुभाशुभम् ॥राजयोगी भवेद्यस्तु ब्रह्महा पूर्वजन्मनि ॥ १८ ॥
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.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
भ्रातृहा यः पुरा देवि स ज्वरेण प्रपीडितः ॥
One who killed a brother earlier, O Goddess, is tormented by fever. A thief of bells and musical instruments becomes a man with a hand disease.
