विद्रधि — ज्योतिःशास्त्रम्
मध्ये पापग्रहयोश्चंद्रे मदनस्थितेर्कजे जंतोः ।श्वासक्षयविद्रधिभिर्गुल्मप्लीहादिपीडा स्यात् ॥
The Moon may sit between two bad planets, with Saturn in the 7th house. Then a person may get breathing trouble, wasting and abscess. A lump in the belly, spleen trouble and the like may also come.
Classical view, not medical advice.
अथ ज्योतिश्शास्त्राभिप्रायेण विद्रधिरोगस्य हेतुमाह तत्प्रतीकारं च ।
Next, as the astrology texts say, the text gives the cause of abscess, and its remedy.
अथ पापग्रहांतर्वर्तमानचंद्रजनितविद्रधिनाशाय चंद्रप्रीतये पूर्वोक्तमेव कार्यम् ।
Next, take the abscess born of the Moon placed between bad planets. To ease it, do just what was said before to please the Moon.
