Chapter 84 · A Trader Who Wronged His Brother
उत्तराषाढा नक्षत्र प्रथम चरण
ततो रासभयोन्यां वै तुरगस्य ततोऽगमत् ॥मानुषत्वं ततो लेभे पूर्वजन्मफलाच्च सः ॥ ६ ॥
Then he went into a donkey's birth, and then a horse's. Then, by the fruit of his earlier birth, he got a human birth.
Classical view, not medical advice.
धनधान्यसमायुक्तो रोगयुक्तोऽप्यपुत्रकः ॥
He has wealth and grain, but he is ill and has no son. By luck, at some time, a son is born, O lovely one.
मरणं तस्य वै शीघ्रं ततः कन्या प्रजायते ॥
That son soon dies. Then a daughter is born. First hear the remedy, by which the wrong goes away.
गृहवित्तषडंशं च पुण्यकार्यं च कारयेत् ॥
Have good works done with a sixth part of house and wealth. In the earlier birth, O Goddess, he had his own younger brother.
