Chapter 21 · Mrigashira 2nd Pada
मृगशिरा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
गायत्रीजातवेदाभ्यां द्विलक्षं जापयेच्छिवे ॥ततः पापविशुद्धिः स्याद्दशांशहवनं यदा ॥ ८ ॥
O auspicious one, let him have 200,000 japa (repeating a mantra) done. The mantras are the Gayatri (a sacred Vedic chant) and the Jatavedas (a name of the fire god) mantra. Then sin is cleansed, when the homa (fire offering) of one tenth is done.
Classical view, not medical advice.
तर्पणं मार्जनं देवि ब्राह्मणान् भोजयेत्ततः ॥
O Goddess, then come tarpana (water offering to the ancestors and gods) and marjana (sprinkling). Then let him feed one hundred pure brahmins…
वृषमेकं प्रदद्यात्तु नीलवर्णं विभूषितम् ॥
Let him give one bull, dark blue and decorated. When this is done, there is no doubt. The illness surely goes away.
पुत्रस्तु जायते देवि वन्ध्यात्वं च प्रणश्यति ॥ ११ ॥
O Goddess, a son is born. The state of a vandhya (a woman who cannot bear children) is destroyed.
