Chapter 65 · A Brahmin of Vishnu-Kanchi
विशाखा नक्षत्र द्वितीय चरण
पुत्रस्य मरणं कान्ते प्रतिवर्षं महाव्यथा ॥पुनः स्त्री काकवन्ध्या स्यात्पूर्वजन्मप्रसङ्गतः ॥ ७ ॥
O beloved, each year a son dies and brings great pain. The wife becomes a kakavandhya (a woman who has only one child), because of the past birth.
Classical view, not medical advice.
धनधान्यसमायुक्तोऽप्येवं दुःखं महद्भवेत् ॥
Even with wealth and grain, great sorrow comes in this way. Now, O Great Goddess, I will tell the cleansing of the earlier wrong.
गङ्गामध्ये प्रदातव्यं पूर्वपापविशुद्धये ॥
To cleanse the earlier wrong, give a fine lotus in the middle of the Ganga. Make it of three nishka (a unit of gold weight) of gold.
दद्याद्वेदविदे देवि ब्राह्मणाय शुभार्थिने ॥
Give it to a brahmin who knows the Veda and wants good. Give one eighth of your wealth to the brahmin.
