Chapter 22 · Mrigashira 3rd Pada
मृगशिरा नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
कर्तव्यं कुण्डमुच्चैस्तु त्रिकोणं विधिवत्प्रिये ॥होमं च कारयेद्देवि दशांशं तर्पणं ततः ॥ १३ ॥
Dear one, a high, three-cornered fire pit must be made by the rules. O Goddess, let a homa (fire offering) of one tenth be done. Then comes the tarpana (water offering to the ancestors and gods).
Classical view, not medical advice.
ततो वै कपिलां दद्याद्धेमशृङ्गीं सहाम्बराम् ॥
Then let him give a tawny cow with gold-covered horns, and a cloth. O lovely one, when this is done, a son is born again.
शूर्पकारस्य प्रतिमां पलसप्तदशस्य तु ॥
Let him make an image of the basket maker in gold. It weighs seventeen pala (a unit of weight). It is covered with cloth.
शूर्पं रौप्यस्य वै कुर्यात्पलषष्टिप्रमाणतः ॥
Let him make a winnowing basket in silver, weighing sixty pala (a unit of weight). Let him give it to a bright brahmin who knows the Vedas.
