यदा पापयुता नारी गर्भपातं च कारयेत् ॥तेन दुश्चरितेनेह ज्वरकुक्षिप्रपीडनम् ॥ २२ ॥
When a sinful woman has an abortion done, for that evil deed she suffers fever and pain in the belly.
Classical view, not medical advice.
योनिशूलं भवेद्देवि गुदरोगो भगंदरः ॥
She has pain in the womb, O Goddess, a disease of the anus and a fistula. Then she should carefully make a brahmin woman and a brahmin man,
रौप्यस्य च महादेवि दशनिष्कस्य भक्तितः ॥
of silver weighing ten nishka (a unit of gold weight), with faith, O Great Goddess. She should worship them every day, O Goddess. She should obey…
भोजयेद्विविधैश्चान्नैर्घृतखण्डसमन्वितैः ॥
She should give a meal of many kinds of food, with ghee and sugar. Then she should give a cow, with faith, to one who lives by learning.
