Chapter 58 · A Seller of Goods and a Cowherd's Wealth
चित्रा नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
चतुरस्रे विशालाक्षि तिलधान्यादितण्डुलैः ॥ताम्रवर्णां ततो देवि गां दद्याद्विदुषे प्रिये ॥ २२ ॥
The pit should be square, O wide-eyed one. Use sesame, grain and rice. Then, dear one, he should give a copper-coloured cow to a learned man.
Classical view, not medical advice.
देहान्ते मुक्तिदश्चैव मर्त्यलोके च कामदः ॥
It gives freedom at the end of life, and gives wishes in the world of mortals. O Goddess, he should have a homa (fire offering) done in a fine fire…
निष्कमात्रं ततः स्वर्णं ब्राह्मणाय प्रदापयेत् ॥
He should have a nishka (a unit of gold weight) of gold given to a brahmin. When this is done, there is no doubt. Disease is surely destroyed.
पुत्रश्च जायते देवि पुनर्गर्भो न नश्यति ॥
A son is born, O Goddess, and pregnancy is not lost again. A kakavandhya (a woman who has only one child) bears a son again. There is no doubt.
