Karma Vipaka Samhita · by Anonymous
Chapter 25 · Ardra 2nd Pada
आर्द्रा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
स्वर्णपञ्चपलेनैव पुष्यं च मकराकृतिम् ॥प्रदद्याद्वेदविदुषे पूर्वपापक्षयो भवेत् ॥ ११ ॥
Let him give a pushya shaped like a makara (a crocodile-like sea creature). He gives it to one who knows the Vedas. It is made with five pala (a unit of weight) of gold. The old sin is destroyed.
Classical view, not medical advice.
तावन्मात्रं गृहीत्वा तु ततो वै मरणं भवेत् ॥
Having taken just that much, he dies. Twenty years pass, and again that man has no son.
तस्य दानं शृणुष्वादौ पूर्वपापक्षयो यतः ॥
Hear first his gift, by which the old sin is destroyed. Let him give one eighth of the value of his house and wealth to a brahmin.
पुनः पुत्रः प्रसूयेत नात्र कार्या विचारणा ॥ १२ ॥
A son is born again. There is no need for doubt here.
