Chapter 45 · A Woodcutter in Karnata
पूर्वाफाल्गुनी नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
पूर्वजन्मनि भो देवि कृतं वृक्षस्य छेदनम् ॥तस्माद्रोगः समुत्पन्नः कटिशूलं निरन्तरम् ॥ ७ ॥
O Goddess, in the past birth he cut down a tree. So a disease came to him, a pain in the waist that never stops.
Classical view, not medical advice.
गोत्रकन्याभिगमनं यत्कृतं पूर्वजन्मनि ॥
In the past birth he lay with a girl of his own family line. By that sin, O Goddess, his son dies.
गर्भस्रावी ततो भार्या काकवन्ध्यात्वमाप्नुयात् ॥
His wife loses her unborn babies and becomes a kakavandhya (a woman who has only one child). Many daughters are born, and he suffers day and night.
अतः शान्ति प्रवक्ष्यामि पूर्वपापविशुद्धये ॥
So I will tell the calming rite to cleanse the old sin. He should give one eighth of his house and wealth to a brahmin.
