Antra and Vrishana (hernia and scrotal swelling) - the stars
अथ ज्योतिश्शास्त्राभिप्रायेण अंत्रवृषणमुष्करोगाणां हेतुमाह तत्प्रतीकारं च यदुक्तम् ॥
Next, as the astrology texts say, the text gives the cause of three troubles. They are of the intestine, the scrotum and the testicles. It also gives their remedy.
Antra and Vrishana (hernia and scrotal swelling) - the stars
रोगैर्भगंदराद्यैःसंतप्तो बंधुभिः सह विरुद्धः ।कर्के विनतानाथे भौमेन निरीक्षिते तपने ॥
He may be troubled by fistula and other illnesses, and may be at odds with his kin. This is when the Sun is in Cancer and Mars looks at the Sun.
Antra and Vrishana (hernia and scrotal swelling) - the stars
अन्यच्च —ऊर्जितो गुह्यरोगार्तो मीनस्थेर्केऽरिदर्शनात् ।
Also: A strong person may suffer from trouble of the private parts. This is when the Sun is in Pisces and looked at by an enemy.
Antra and Vrishana (hernia and scrotal swelling) - the stars
कुलटाभार्याद्वेषी वधनिष्ठो दद्रुणो दरिद्रश्च ॥अलिनि सिते भवति पुमान् गृहीतशिल्पः सगुह्यगदः ।
He may hate his unfaithful wife. He may be given to violence, have ringworm and be poor. When Venus is in Scorpio, the man takes up a craft and may have trouble of the private parts.
Antra and Vrishana (hernia and scrotal swelling) - the stars
शुक्रपूजादिकं विधिवत् विदध्यात् । अत्र आद्यशब्देनेति मुष्कपीडादयोऽपि गृह्यंते । तदुपशांतये कर्कटसंस्थितमंगलावलोकितमीनस्थसूर्यजनितमुष्करोगोपशांतये पूर्ववत् जपहोमदानादिकं कुर्यात् ॥
He should do the worship of Venus and the rest, by the rule. Here the word "and other" (in "fistula and other illnesses") also takes in pain of the testicles and the like. Take the testicle trouble born of the Sun in Pisces, looked at by Mars in Cancer. To ease it, he should do japa (repeating a mantra), homa (fire offering), dana (gift) and the rest, as before.
Unit 61.2 names the Sun in Cancer looked at by Mars. Unit 61.3 names the Sun in Pisces, and Unit 61.4 names Venus in Scorpio.
