Chapter 37 · Vatarakta: the stars
वातरक्त — ज्योतिःशास्त्रम्
इति वचनात् व्योमस्थानस्थितशनिदृष्टभौमजनितवातरक्तदोषोपशांतये मंगलप्रीतये पूर्वोक्तमेव जपहोमदानादिकं कुर्यात् ।
By this saying, Mars in the 10th house, seen by Saturn, can bring the dosha (fault) of vatarakta (gout). To ease it, the person should do the rites named before, to please Mars. These are japa (repeating a mantra), homa (fire offering), dana (gift) and the like.
Classical view, not medical advice.
अथ ज्योतिश्शास्त्राभिप्रायेणवातरक्तदोषस्य कारण माह ।
Next, from the view of astrology, the text tells the cause of the dosha (fault) of vatarakta (gout).
व्योमस्थाने महीपुत्रः शनिदृष्टो यदा भवेत् ।
Mars may be in the 10th house and seen by Saturn at a person's birth. Then that person may be troubled by wind-and-blood illness (gout).
