Chapter 2 · Ashvini and the Four Quarters
अश्विनी नक्षत्र चरण विचारः
मातृहा पितृहा देवि महाकुष्ठी नरो भवेत् ॥अगम्यागमनं यस्तु वीरयोषागमं तथा ॥ २८ ॥
A killer of his mother or father, O Goddess, becomes a man with a severe skin disease. One who goes to a forbidden woman, or to a hero's wife,
Classical view, not medical advice.
करोति योऽधमस्तस्य शरीरं ज्वरपीडितम् ॥
that low man's body is tormented by fever. A cow-killer is always born with white patches on the skin.
कन्यकागमनं यस्तु करोति हठतः पुरा ॥
One who in the past forced himself on a maiden: by that sin, O Goddess, he is sick and has no wealth.
पुष्पगन्धापहारी च मुखे तस्य विगन्धता ॥
A thief of flowers and perfumes has foul breath from the mouth. A thief of ghee has a skin disease. Fallen from that, he becomes a worm.
