Chapter 82 · A King Who Took a Brahmin's Land
पूर्वाषाढा नक्षत्र तृतीय चरण
मृतवत्सा लभेत्पुत्रं चिरंजीविनमुत्तमम् ॥रोगाः सर्वे क्षयं यान्ति नात्र कार्या विचारणा ॥१६॥
A mritavatsa (one whose children die young) gets a very good, long-lived son. All illnesses come to an end. There is no need to doubt this.
Classical view, not medical advice.
पलपञ्चसुवर्णस्य ब्राह्मणस्य तथाऽकृतिम् ॥
Make an image of a brahmin from five pala (a unit of weight) of gold. Worship it properly. Then have it given to a brahmin.
प्रयागे मकरे मासि पत्न्या सह वरानने ॥
In the month of Makara (Capricorn), go to Prayaga, O fair-faced one. Bathe there with your wife, O Goddess, to cleanse the earlier wrong.
एवं कृत्वा वरारोहे पुत्रोत्पत्तिर्भवेच्छिवे ॥
Do this, O Parvati, and a son is born. Barrenness ends. A kakavandhya (a woman who has only one child) becomes pregnant.
