Chapter 72 · A Brahmin Who Found Treasure
ज्येष्ठा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
एवं कृते वरारोहे पुत्रो भवति नान्यथा ॥व्याधिस्तस्य निवर्तेत काकबन्ध्या लभेत्सुतम् ॥१३॥
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.
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.
मृतवत्सा लभेत्पुत्रं चिरंजीविनमुत्तमम् ॥ १४ ॥
A mritavatsa (one whose children die young) gets a fine son who lives long.
