Vira Simhavaloka · Chapter 45
गुल्म — ज्योतिःशास्त्रम्
This is the Gulma astrology chapter of Vira Simhavaloka. It is a short chapter on the same placement as the chapter before it.
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.
Gulma (abdominal lump) - the stars
अथ गुल्मरोगस्य ज्योतिश्शास्त्राभिप्रायेण प्रतीकारो लिख्यते ।
Next, the remedy for the gulma (abdominal lump) disease is written, from the astrology view.
Gulma (abdominal lump) - the stars
यदुक्तं जातके — मध्ये पापग्रहयोश्चंद्रे मदनास्थतेर्कजे जंतोः ।श्वासक्षयविद्रथिभिर्गुल्मप्लीहादिपीडितः स नरः
As a jataka (birth chart reading) text says: 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 the 7th house and Saturn are printed wrongly, and the sentence ends without its last word.)
Gulma (abdominal lump) - the stars
अत्र पापद्वयाभ्यंतरवर्त्तिचंद्रजनितगुल्मरोगोपशमनाय पूर्वोक्तमेव कुर्यात् तेनोपशाम्यति ।
For peace from the lump disease caused by the Moon between two bad planets, do what was told before. By that the trouble eases.
Unit 45.3 names the Moon between two bad planets and sends the reader to the earlier rites.
