Chapter 7 · Women's Past Deeds
स्त्रीकर्मकथनम्
पूजयेदब्दमेकं तु प्रत्यहं नियता प्रिये ॥वर्षे पूर्णे ततस्तस्यै वस्त्रं दत्त्वा विसर्जयेत् ॥ १५ ॥
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.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
मिष्टं भुङ्क्ते तु या नारी पत्युर्मिष्टं ददाति न ॥
A woman eats sweet food but gives none to her husband. For that sin she carries a bad smell in her mouth.
गुडं वा मधु वा खण्डं विप्राय प्रयता सदा ॥
When she always gives jaggery, honey or sugar to a brahmin, with care, O Goddess, her mouth becomes clean.
