Chapter 7 · Women's Past Deeds
स्त्रीकर्मकथनम्
स्वपतिघ्नी च या नारी रण्डा भवति नान्यथा ॥तया नित्यं प्रपूज्या च तुलसी भक्तिभावतः ॥ १९ ॥
A woman who kills her husband becomes a widow, not otherwise. She should always worship the tulasi (holy basil) with love and faith.
Classical view, not medical advice.
ऊर्जे माघे च वैशाखे प्रातःस्नानं समाचरेत् ॥
She should bathe in the early morning in the months of Kartik, Magha and Vaishakha. She should keep the Ekadashi vrata (vow of fasting and worship)…
जपं कृत्वा प्रयत्नेन पतिरूपाय विष्णवे ॥
After careful japa (repeating a mantra), she should give it to Vishnu, who is in the form of the husband. Her sin goes away quickly.
यदा पापयुता नारी गर्भपातं च कारयेत् ॥
When a sinful woman has an abortion done, for that evil deed she suffers fever and pain in the belly.
