Karma Vipaka Samhita · by Anonymous
Chapter 49 · A Goldsmith and the Brahmin's Garland
उत्तराफाल्गुनी नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
मृतवत्सा लभेत्पुत्रं चिरंजीविनमुत्तमम् ॥काकवन्ध्या प्रसूयेत सत्यमेव न संशयः ॥ १४ ॥
The mritavatsa (one whose children die young) gets a son, the best, who lives long. The kakavandhya (a woman who has only one child) gives birth. This is true, without doubt.
Classical view, not medical advice.
हरिवंशश्रुतिं देवि संकल्प्य श्रद्धया युतः ॥
Let him make the vow and have the Harivamsha (a sacred book about Krishna) heard with faith, O Goddess. Let him have a homa (fire offering) done…
गोदानं विधिवत्कुर्याच्छिवपूजनमेव च ॥
Let him give a cow by the rule, and worship Shiva. When this is done, without doubt he soon gets a son.
रोगात्प्रमुच्यते शीघ्रं ज्वरं सर्वं क्षयं व्रजेत् ॥ १५ ॥
He is quickly freed from disease, and all fever comes to an end.
