Vira Simhavaloka · Chapter 19
कास-गद्गदत्व — ज्योतिःशास्त्रम्
This is the Kasa and Gadgadatva astrology chapter of Vira Simhavaloka. It names two placements: the Sun in Cancer looked at by Mercury, and a waning Moon in a Scorpio navamsha.
Classical view, not medical advice.
The first is linked to chest and breath trouble, the second to trouble in speaking.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
Kasa (cough) - the stars
अथ क्रमप्राप्तस्य कासरोगस्य कफश्वासस्य च जातकाभिप्रायेण हेतुमाहतत्प्रतीकारं च
Next, the cause of cough and of phlegm with hard breathing is told. It is told as the jataka (birth chart reading) sees it. Its remedy follows.
Kasa (cough) - the stars
यदुक्तं जातकेसूर्यैकुलीरयाते बुधेन दृष्टे विगतनेत्रः ।कफमारुतरोगार्त्तः परस्वहारी विलोममतिचेष्टः ।
As a jataka (birth chart reading) text says: When the Sun is in Cancer and Mercury looks at it, the person may lose his sight. He may suffer from troubles of phlegm and wind. He may take other people's property and act with a twisted mind.
Kasa (cough) - the stars
कर्कांतस्थितबुधदृष्टसूर्यजनितकासश्वासकफरोगप्रतीकारमाह । सौरमंत्रजपहोमदानादिकं पूर्ववत्कार्यम् ।
This gives the remedy for cough, hard breathing and phlegm trouble brought by the Sun. Here the Sun is in Cancer and Mercury looks at it. Do japa (repeating a mantra) of the Sun's mantra. Do also homa (fire offering), dana (gift) and the rest, as told before.
Gadgadatva (stammering) - the stars
अथ ज्योतिःशास्त्राभिप्रायेण गद्गदत्वप्रयोगमाह । वृश्चिकांशस्थितक्षीणचंद्रजनितगद्गदत्वदोषोपशमनाय प्रागुक्तं चंद्रपूजाविधानं विदध्यात् ।
Next, the stars' view of stammering is told, with its remedy. A waning Moon in a Scorpio navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign) may bring the dosha (fault) of stammering. To ease it, do the worship of the Moon told before.
Unit 19.2 names the Sun in Cancer looked at by Mercury. Unit 19.4 names a waning Moon in a Scorpio navamsha.
