Chapter 7 · Women's Past Deeds
स्त्रीकर्मकथनम्
प्रयागे मकरे स्नानं पतिना तु सहाचरेत् ॥स्वर्णशृङ्गं रौप्यखुरं मुक्तालांगूलग्रन्थितम् ॥ १२ ॥
She should bathe at Prayaga in the Makara month (the Sun in Capricorn), together with her husband. A bull with golden horns, silver hooves and a tail tied with pearls,
Classical view, not medical advice.
दद्यात्सदक्षिणं देवि वृषभं विदुषे तथा ॥
she should give, O Goddess, with the priest's fee, to a learned man. A woman who left her weak husband and went with another,
तेन पापेन भो देवि दरिद्रा पुत्रवर्जिता ॥
for that sin, O Goddess, is poor and has no sons. Then she should worship a young girl, and also Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshvara (Shiva).
पूजयेदब्दमेकं तु प्रत्यहं नियता प्रिये ॥
She should worship them every day for one year, with self-control, dear one. When the year is full, she should give the girl a cloth and send her off.
