Karma Vipaka Samhita · by Anonymous
Chapter 32 · Pushya 1st Pada
पुष्य नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥पापेन जायते व्याधिः पापेनैवासुतो भवेत् ॥पापेन जायते मूर्खः पापेनैव दरिद्रता ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: From wrong comes disease. From wrong comes being without a son. From wrong comes foolishness. From wrong comes poverty.
Classical view, not medical advice.
पूर्वजन्मकृतं यत्तु पापं वा पुण्यमेव वा ॥
Whatever wrong or good was done in a past life, O Goddess, all bodied beings feel it in this birth.
पुण्येन जायते विद्या पुण्येन जायते सुतः ॥
From merit comes learning. From merit comes a son. From merit comes a beautiful wife. From merit one gets wealth.
अथातः संप्रवक्ष्यामि पुष्यनक्षत्रजं फलम् ॥
Now I will tell the fruit that is born of the Pushya nakshatra (star). Hear all of it, O Goddess, what was done in a past life.
