Chapter 28 · Punarvasu 1st Pada
पुनर्वसु नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
शिवार्चनमशेषेण वापिकां चैव कारयेत् ॥कूपं चैव तडागं च पथि मध्ये च कारयेत् ॥ २३ ॥
He should worship Shiva fully. He should have a step-well built, and a well and a tank along the road.
Classical view, not medical advice.
कूष्माण्डं नारिकेरं च पञ्चरत्नसमन्वितम् ॥
A pumpkin and a coconut with the five jewels should be given in the middle of the Ganga. On Saturday he should worship the peepal tree.
पलसप्तदशेनैव प्रतिमां कारयेद्बुधः ॥
The wise one should have an image made of seventeen pala (a unit of weight). Also a four-cornered altar, with silver of ten pala.
तन्मध्ये प्रतिमां स्थाप्य सपुत्रस्य द्विजस्य तु ॥
Set the image in the middle of it. Then, O Parvati, he should worship with devotion a brahmin who has a son. He uses this mantra (sacred words).
