Chapter 45 · Gulma: the stars
गुल्म — ज्योतिःशास्त्रम्
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.)
Classical view, not medical advice.
अथ गुल्मरोगस्य ज्योतिश्शास्त्राभिप्रायेण प्रतीकारो लिख्यते ।
Next, the remedy for the gulma (abdominal lump) disease is written, from the astrology view.
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.
