Chapter 79 · A Salt-Maker and His Wife
मूल नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
स्वभार्या पतिता देवि लवणकूपे निशामुखे ॥नैव निःसारिता देवि ततः कन्या प्रजायते ॥ १३ ॥
His wife fell into the salt well at nightfall, O Goddess. She was not pulled out then, O Goddess. So a daughter is born.
Classical view, not medical advice.
वृषभौ पतितौ कूपे पातितौ मृत्युमागतौ ॥
Two bulls fell into the well and were made to meet death. By that fault, O Goddess, a son is not born.
परस्त्रीरतिसंयोगं यत्कृतं पूर्वजन्मनि ॥
What he did in the past birth, love-making with other men's wives: by that sin, O Goddess, illness arises in the body.
अस्य शान्ति प्रवक्ष्यामि शृणु देवि सुशोभने ॥
I will tell the remedy for this. Hear it, O beautiful Goddess. Let him give an eighth of his house wealth to a brahmin.
