Chapter 27 · Trishna and Murchha: the stars
तृष्णा-मूर्छा — ज्योतिःशास्त्रम्
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.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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.
यथोक्तं जातके । सिंहस्थो द्विजनाथः करोति जातं तुदनजठररोगार्तम् ।
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…
मूर्छाशोणितदोषाः शाखाच्छेदोव्रणश्चापि ।
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).
