Chapter 84 · A Trader Who Wronged His Brother
उत्तराषाढा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
काकवन्ध्या लभेत्पुत्रं मृतवत्सा सुपुत्रिणी ॥व्याधयः संक्षयं यान्ति नात्र कार्या विचारणा ॥१९॥
A kakavandhya (a woman who has only one child) gets a son. A mritavatsa (one whose children die young) becomes a mother of good sons. Illnesses come to an end. There is no need to doubt this.
Classical view, not medical advice.
प्रतिमां पूजितां देवि मन्त्रेणानेन वै शिवे ॥
Give the image, worshipped with this mantra (sacred words), O Parvati, to a learned brahmin. He should know the Veda and be twice-born in spirit.
ततो वै भोजयेद्भक्त्या ब्राह्मणान्वेदपारगान् ॥
Then feed brahmins who know the Vedas well, with devotion. Feed a hundred and one, O Goddess, with rice pudding and sweet balls.
एवं कृत्वा वरारोहे पूर्वपापस्य संक्षयः ॥
Do this, O fair one, and the earlier wrong is wiped out. Barrenness ends. A son is truly born.
