Chapter 7 · Women's Past Deeds
स्त्रीकर्मकथनम्
परपुंसि रता नारी स्वपतिं मिष्टवादिनी ॥तेन पापेन भो देवि कन्यापत्यं च जायते ॥ ८ ॥

ततः कन्या तु न भवेच्छुभं पुत्रं प्रसूयते ॥
Then no daughter is born, and she bears a good son. Now a woman who is always unfaithful, though she keeps up her duties,
तेन कर्मविपाकेन नारीगर्भं विनश्यति ॥
by that ripening of her deed, loses the child in her womb. Then she should worship the God who holds the conch, discus and mace.
