Chapter 7 · Women's Past Deeds
स्त्रीकर्मकथनम्
यदा रौप्यस्य वै वृक्षं स्वाङ्गुष्ठपरिमाणकम् ॥पलपञ्चमिदं देवि दद्याद्वेदविदे प्रिये ॥ ४ ॥
Say she gives a silver tree the size of her thumb, O Goddess, weighing five pala (a unit of weight). She gives it to a Veda scholar, dear one.
Classical view, not medical advice.
तदा पुष्पं भवेद्देवि नात्र कार्या विचारणा ॥
Then her periods come. Have no doubt about it. She left her sleeping husband and loved another man. (Our text is unclear here: the word read as…
तेन पापेन भो देवि वन्ध्या नारी प्रजायते ॥
For that sin, O Goddess, she is born a vandhya (a woman who cannot bear children). She should make a tree of gold, with fruits and flowers,
दद्याद्वेदविदे नारी पतिसेवासु तत्परा ॥
and give it to a Veda scholar, while she is devoted to serving her husband. Then she will bear a son. The gift is ten pala (a unit of weight) of gold.
