छर्दि — ज्योतिःशास्त्रम्
This is the Chhardi astrology chapter of Vira Simhavaloka. It names Mercury and Venus in the 6th house, looked at by the waning Moon.
Classical view, not medical advice.
The remedy pleases Mercury and Venus, with mantras, fire offerings, a bath of cardamom and saffron, and silver.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
Chhardi (vomiting) - the stars
अथ ज्योतिश्शास्त्राभिप्रायेण छर्दिरोगस्य प्रयोगोभिधीयते तत्प्रतीकारश्च ।
Next, the stars' view of vomiting is told, along with its remedy.
Chhardi (vomiting) - the stars
रिपुस्थाने यदा स्यातां चांद्रिशुक्रौ ततो भवेत् ।छर्दिमान्मनुजः कृष्णपक्षचंद्रावलोकितौ ॥
Mercury and Venus may be in the 6th house, with the waning Moon looking at them. Then the person may suffer from vomiting.
Chhardi (vomiting) - the stars
क्षीणचंद्रावलोकितषष्ठस्थानस्थितबुधशुक्रबाधोपशांतयेतत्प्रीतयेबुधस्य तु पूर्वोक्तमेव सकलं जपहोमदानादिविधानं विदध्यात् । शुक्रस्य तु वक्ष्यामः । अन्नात्प रिस्रुतेतिमन्त्रजपः तिलाज्यौदुंबरीसमिद्भिर्होमः अश्वदानं स्नानं च ।
Mercury and Venus may stand in the 6th house, with the waning Moon looking at them. To ease the trouble, and to please Mercury, he should do all the rites told before. Do japa (repeating a mantra), homa (fire offering), dana (gift) and the rest. For Venus, we now tell it. Do japa of the Vedic mantra that begins "annat parisruta". Do the homa with sesame, ghee and samidh (sacred firewood) of udumbara (cluster fig tree). Give a horse and take the ritual bath.
Chhardi (vomiting) - the stars
एलया च शिलया समन्वितैर्वारिभिः सफलमूलकुंकुमैः ।स्नानतो भृगुसुतोपपादितं दुःखमेति विलयं न संशयः ॥
He should bathe in water mixed with cardamom, shila (a stone or mineral), fruits, roots and saffron. Such a bath ends the trouble brought by Venus. There is no doubt.
So says Shripati. He should wear silver. He should give havishya (plain boiled ritual food) as naivedya (food offering).
