Chapter 7 · Women's Past Deeds
स्त्रीकर्मकथनम्
व्रतं सूर्यस्य वै कुर्यात्प्रणम्य प्रतिवासरम् ॥तदा नारी पूर्वपापं दहत्येव न संशयः ॥ १६ ॥
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.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
स्वपतिघ्नी च या नारी रण्डा भवति नान्यथा ॥
A woman who kills her husband becomes a widow, not otherwise. She should always worship the tulasi (holy basil) with love and faith.
