Karma Vipaka Samhita · by Anonymous
Chapter 48 · A Merchant and the Brahmin's Gold
उत्तराफाल्गुनी नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
तस्मात्खलु वरारोहे पुत्रस्तस्य न जायते ॥शरीरे च महाकष्टं मध्ये मध्ये प्रजायते ॥ ९ ॥
So, O lovely one, no son is born to him. Now and then great pain comes in the body.
Classical view, not medical advice.
तस्य चोत्तरफाल्गुन्याः प्रथमे चरणे शुभे ॥
His birth was in the first quarter of Uttara Phalguni, O Goddess, and he has no sons or daughters.
अस्य पापस्य वै शान्तिं पुण्यं शृणु वरानने ॥
Hear the good deeds that calm this sin, O lovely one. Let him, with full attention, have the Harivamsha (a sacred book about Krishna) heard once.
गृहवित्तषडंशेन पुण्यकार्यं च कारयेत् ॥
Let him do good works with one sixth of his house and wealth. Let him also do japa (repeating a mantra) a hundred thousand (ten times ten thousand)…
