The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
Bhagandara (fistula) - the stars
अथ भगंदररोगस्य ज्योतिश्शास्त्राभिप्रायेण हेतुमाह तत्प्रतीकारं च यथोक्तं जातके ।
Next, the cause of bhagandara (fistula) from the stars is described, and its remedy. As a jataka (birth chart reading) text says:
Bhagandara (fistula) - the stars
कुष्ठभगंदररोगैरभिभूतं ह्रस्वजीवितं निधनम् ।सर्वारंभविहीनं जनयति कितवं सदा दुष्टम् ॥
[Saturn] in the 8th house gives birth to one who tends to be overcome by kushtha (skin disease) and fistula. He is short-lived and fails in all he begins. He is a gambler and always wicked.
Bhagandara (fistula) - the stars
अपरं चरोगैर्भगंदराद्यैः संतप्तो बंधुभिः सह विरुद्धः ।कर्कटके दिननाथे भौमेन निरीक्षिते रवेः पुत्रे ॥
And another: The one born is troubled by fistula and other illnesses, and is at odds with his relatives. This is when the Sun is in Cancer and Saturn, the Sun's son, is looked at by Mars.
Bhagandara (fistula) - the stars
अन्यच्च ।कुष्ठकंडूविकारैश्च क्षयकुष्ठभगंदरैः ।गजादिवाहनभयं भवेच्चंद्रांतगे बुधे ॥
Also: There may be kushtha (skin disease) and itching troubles, a wasting illness, and fistula. There may be danger from elephants and other mounts. This is when Mercury runs inside the Moon's period.
Bhagandara (fistula) - the stars
अत्र प्रथमश्लोके शनैश्चरस्य पठितत्वात् अथाष्टमस्थानस्थशनिजनितभगंदररोगबाधोपशांतये शनिप्रीतये पूर्वोक्तमेव जपहोमादिकं स्नानं सकलमपि कुर्यात् । तथा च ॥
Here the first verse names Saturn. Saturn in the 8th house may bring fistula. For peace from this, and to please Saturn, he should do all that was said before. That means japa (repeating a mantra), homa (fire offering) and the rest, and also the snana (ritual bath). And so:
Bhagandara (fistula) - the stars
कर्कटराशिस्थितभौमावलोकितरविशनिजनितभगंदररोगोपशांतये रविप्रीतये पूर्वोक्तमेव जपहोमादिकं कुर्यात् । तथाच चंद्रदशांतर्वर्तमानबुधजनितभगंदररोगोपशांतये चंद्रस्य पूर्वोक्तमेव जपहोमादिकं कुर्यात् । तेनोपशांतिर्भवति ।
The Sun and Saturn may bring fistula when Mars, standing in Cancer, looks at them. For peace from this, he should do the japa (repeating a mantra), homa (fire offering) and the rest said before. It is done to please the Sun. Mercury in the Moon's period may also bring fistula. For that, he should do the same japa and homa for the Moon. By that, peace comes.
Unit 71.2 names Saturn in the 8th house. Unit 71.3 names the Sun in Cancer with Saturn looked at by Mars.
