Vira Simhavaloka · Chapter 43
आध्मान-उदावर्त — ज्योतिःशास्त्रम्
This is the Adhmana and Udavarta astrology chapter of Vira Simhavaloka. It covers two wind troubles together, from the astrology view.
Classical view, not medical advice.
The text names the Moon between two bad planets and points to the rites told before.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
Adhmana and Udavarta (bloating and wind) - the stars
अथेदानीम् अध्मानोदावर्तरोगयोर्वातप्राबल्यात्साकल्यैनैव ज्योतिश्शास्त्राभिप्रायेण प्रकारोऽभिधोत्यते
Next, adhmana (bloating) and udavarta (wind going upward) both come from strong wind. So the way for both is told together, from the astrology view.
Adhmana and Udavarta (bloating and wind) - the stars
तथोक्तम् । मध्येपापग्रहयोश्चंद्रे मदनस्थितेर्कंजे जंतोः ।श्वासक्षयविद्रधिना गुल्मप्लीहादिपीडितः ॥
As it is said: The Moon may sit between two bad planets, with Saturn in the 7th house. Then the person may be troubled by breathlessness, wasting and an abscess. He may also have a lump in the belly, an enlarged spleen and the like. (Our text is unclear here: the words for Saturn in the 7th house are misprinted.)
Adhmana and Udavarta (bloating and wind) - the stars
अत्रादिशब्देन आध्मानोदावर्तरोगावपि गृह्येते। ततःपाप ग्रहद्वयांतर्वर्तिचंद्रजनिताध्मानोदावर्तरोगोपशांतये पूर्वो क्तमेव जपहोमदानादि कुर्यात् ॥
Here the words 'and the like' also take in bloating and wind going upward. The Moon between two bad planets may cause them. For peace from them, do what was told before. That is japa (repeating a mantra), homa (fire offering), dana (gift) and the rest.
Unit 43.3 names the Moon between two bad planets.
