Chapter 72 · A Brahmin Who Found Treasure
ज्येष्ठा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
गन्धधूपादिभिर्देवि भूषणैर्विविधैरपि ॥गायत्रीलक्षजाप्येन दशांशहवनेन तु ॥ १० ॥
Offer sandalwood paste, incense and many kinds of ornaments, O Goddess. Do 100,000 japa (repeating a mantra) of the Gayatri (a sacred Vedic chant). Add a homa (fire offering) of one tenth that number.
Classical view, not medical advice.
प्रयागे मकरे स्नानं सर्वपापक्षयो भवेत् ॥
Bathe at Prayaga in the month of Makara (when the Sun is in Capricorn), and all wrong is destroyed. Then give a milk cow to a brahmin.
भूमिं वृत्तिकरीं दद्यात् पुत्रपौत्रानुयायिनीम् ॥
Give land that gives a living, to pass to sons and grandsons. Then give a horse, and feed brahmins.
एवं कृते वरारोहे पुत्रो भवति नान्यथा ॥
When this is done, O lovely one, a son is born, not otherwise. His illness will turn away. A kakavandhya (a woman who has only one child) gets a son.
