Chapter 28 · Punarvasu 1st Pada
पुनर्वसु नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
सन्तानं जायते देवि रोगाणां संक्षयस्ततः ॥कन्यका नैव जायन्ते वन्ध्यात्वं च प्रणश्यति ॥३३॥
A child is born, O Goddess, and diseases are wiped out. Girls are not born, and the state of a vandhya (a woman who cannot bear children) is destroyed.
Classical view, not medical advice.
मम पूर्वकृतं पापं क्षम्यतां परमेश्वर ॥
Forgive my wrong done before, O Supreme Lord. Then he should give a tawny cow with horns of gold and anklets.
विधिवद्वेदविदुषे ब्राह्मणाय तपस्विने ॥
By the rule, he should give it to a brahmin who knows the Vedas and does austerities. Then he should give dashavarna (a gift of ten colours) and…
भूमिदानं ततो दद्याद्विप्राय विदुषे ततः ॥
Then he should give land to a learned brahmin. When this is done, there is no doubt, the old wrong is destroyed.
