Chapter 7 · Women's Past Deeds
स्त्रीकर्मकथनम्
दद्यात्सदक्षिणं देवि वृषभं विदुषे तथा ॥या पतिं दुर्बलं त्यक्त्वा परेण सह संगता ॥ १३ ॥
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,
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
व्रतं सूर्यस्य वै कुर्यात्प्रणम्य प्रतिवासरम् ॥
She should keep the Sun's vrata (vow of fasting and worship), bowing to him every day. Then the woman burns away her past sin. There is no doubt.
