Vira Simhavaloka · Chapter 27
तृष्णा-मूर्छा — ज्योतिःशास्त्रम्
This is the Trishna and Murchha astrology chapter of Vira Simhavaloka. It names the Moon in Leo and the troubles of pitta (the bile humour).
Classical view, not medical advice.
The remedy is the Moon rite, done like the Mars rite told before.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
Trishna and Murchha (thirst and fainting) - the stars
अथ तृष्णामूर्छारोगयोः साकल्येनैव ज्योतिश्शास्त्राभिप्रायेण हेतुमाह तत्प्रतीकारं च ।
Next, the cause of thirst and fainting together is told, as the stars see it, along with its remedy.
Trishna and Murchha (thirst and fainting) - the stars
यथोक्तं जातके । सिंहस्थो द्विजनाथः करोति जातं तुदनजठररोगार्तम् ।स्त्रीद्वेषिणं च पुरुषं तथा पिपासाक्षुधाविष्टम् ॥
As a jataka (birth chart reading) text says: The Moon in Leo makes the person suffer from stabbing pain and belly trouble. He hates women and is gripped by thirst and hunger.
Trishna and Murchha (thirst and fainting) - the stars
मूर्छाशोणितदोषाः शाखाच्छेदोव्रणश्चापि ।पित्तसमुत्थैर्दोषैरभिभूतो मानवो भवति ॥
The person may be overcome by fainting, blood troubles, the cutting of a limb and wounds. These are troubles that rise from pitta (the bile humour).
Trishna and Murchha (thirst and fainting) - the stars
मूर्छातृष्णादोषोपशमनाय पूर्वोक्तभौमपूजादिवत्चन्द्रस्यापि जपहोमदानस्नानादिकं निखिलमपि । विधेयम् । तेन शांतिर्भवति ।
To ease the faults of fainting and thirst, do the same for the Moon. It is like the worship of Mars told before. He should do the japa (repeating a mantra), homa (fire offering), dana (gift), snana (ritual bath) and all the rest. By that, peace comes.
Unit 27.2 names the Moon in Leo. Unit 27.4 gives the Moon rite.
