Chapter 79 · A Salt-Maker and His Wife
मूल नक्षत्र चतुर्थ चरण
काकवन्ध्या लभेत्पुत्रं पुनर्देवि न संशयः ॥ २६ ॥
A kakavandhya (a woman who has only one child) gets a son again, O Goddess, without doubt.
Classical view, not medical advice.
ततो गां कपिलां दद्यात् स्वर्णशृंगीं सुभूषिताम् ॥
Then let him give a tawny cow, well adorned, with gold on the horns. When this is done, O fair one, what was done in the past birth
तत्सर्वं नाशमायाति शीघ्रमेव न संशयः ॥
is all destroyed soon, without doubt. A son is born, O Goddess. The state of being a vandhya (a woman who cannot bear children) is calmed.
रोगाः सर्वे क्षयं यान्ति नात्र कार्या विचारणा ॥
All illnesses waste away, and there is no need to doubt. A mritavatsa (one whose children die young) gets a son, long-lived and the best.
