Karma Vipaka Samhita · by Anonymous
Chapter 31 · Punarvasu 4th Pada
पुनर्वसु नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
सप्तम्यां रवियुक्तायां व्रतं कुर्यात्सुरेश्वरि ॥पापं व्याधिः क्षयं याति ज्वरः क्वापि न जायते ॥२०॥
O Queen of gods, he should keep a vrata (vow of fasting and worship). It falls on a seventh lunar day that is a Sunday. The wrong and illness end. Fever never arises.
Classical view, not medical advice.
पूजितां प्रतिमां दद्याद्ब्राह्मणाय वराय च ॥
He should give the worshipped image to a good brahmin. He should give the brahmin a maid, a servant, wealth and grain.
अश्वदानं रथं वस्त्रं पात्राणि विविधानि च ॥
The gift of a horse, a chariot, cloth, many vessels, a bed and the rest, O fair one. He should not be mean with his money.
एवं कृते न संदेहश्चिरंजीविसुतं लभेत् ॥
When this is done, no doubt, he gets a long-lived son. The wrong done in the past life ends, not otherwise.
