चित्रा नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
तस्मात्पुत्रस्य मरणं गर्भपातः पुनः पुनः ॥अस्य शान्तिमहं वक्ष्ये शृणु देवि वरेऽनघे ॥ १७ ॥
So a son dies, and pregnancies are lost again and again. I will tell the remedy for this. Listen, O Goddess, blameless one.
Classical view, not medical advice.
गृहवित्तषडंशेषु पुण्यं कार्यं च यत्नतः ॥
He should do good works with a sixth of the wealth of his house, with care. He should have wells, ponds and tanks built along the road.
शिवस्य पूजनं चैव शिवभक्तिमहर्निशम् ॥
He should worship Shiva and have devotion to Shiva day and night. He should have the mantra (sacred words) 'Namah Shivaya' said five lakh (500,000)…
पार्थिवाँल्लक्षसंख्याकान् पूजयेच्च यथाविधि ॥
He should worship a lakh (100,000) earthen lingas (Shiva's sacred stone emblem), by the rule. The mantra 'Om Namah Shivaya' destroys all sin.
