Chapter 4 · Ashvini 2nd Pada
अश्विनी नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
॥ शिव उवाच ॥अथ द्वितीये वक्ष्यामि प्रायश्चित्तं तथाऽम्बिके ॥अश्विन्यां जायते देवि पूर्वकर्मविपाकतः ॥ १ ॥
Shiva said: Now I will tell the prayashchitta (remedy for a past wrong), O Mother. It is for the second charana (quarter of a star). O Goddess, this birth in Ashvini comes from the ripening of past deeds.
Classical view, not medical advice.
अयोध्यापुरतो देवि पूर्वे क्रोशचतुष्टये ॥
East of Ayodhya, O Goddess, four krosha (a measure of distance) away, is the river Sarayu. Near it lived a kshatriya (warrior class) of mixed birth.
नामतो श्वेतवर्मेति पुत्रदारसमन्वितः ॥
His name was Shvetavarma, and he had sons and a wife. One day his mother's brother came with his son, O Goddess.
आगतो निकटे देवि स्वर्णकोटिसमन्वितः ॥
He came near, O Goddess, carrying a crore (ten million) of gold. Shvetavarma greeted him warmly and gave him a place to stay in the house.
