मृगशिरा नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
शूर्पकारस्य प्रतिमां पलसप्तदशस्य तु ॥सुवर्णस्यैव भो देवि रचितां वस्त्रच्छादिताम् ॥१५॥
Let him make an image of the basket maker in gold. It weighs seventeen pala (a unit of weight). It is covered with cloth.
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.
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.
तस्योद्देशेन भो देवि ऋणबन्धात्प्रमुच्यते ॥
In the name of that man, O Goddess, he is freed from the bond of debt. O Goddess, a son is born. There is no need for doubt here.
