Chapter 64 · A Warrior Who Gave Up His Duty
विशाखा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
युगमेकं वरारोहे कष्टं भुक्त्वा सुदारुणम् ॥ननोऽभूत्स ततो देवि महिषी वृषभो हयः ॥ ६ ॥
For one age, O noble lady, he bore terrible pain. Then he became a buffalo, a bull and a horse. (Our text is unclear here: the words just before "buffalo" are worn in print.)
Classical view, not medical advice.
पुनश्च मानुषो भूत्वा तस्य भार्या च या पुरा ॥
Then he was born a man again. The wife he had before was married to him again, O Goddess. No son is born to her.
पुरा ह्येकाऽभवत्कन्या पुनः सूतिविवर्जिता ॥
Before, one daughter was born to her. After that she bore no more children. Illness comes in the body, and now and then fever.
अस्य शान्तिं प्रवक्ष्यामि शृणु देवि वरानने ॥
Now I will tell the remedy for this. Listen, O Goddess of the lovely face. Make a fine wishing tree the size of one's thumb.
