विसर्प — ज्योतिःशास्त्रम्
अथविसर्पविस्फोटकरोमांतिकमसूरिकादीनां जातकाभिप्रायेण हेतुमाह तत्प्रतीकारं च ।
Next, from a jataka (birth chart reading) text, the cause of spreading skin rash and blisters is described. So are romantika (a measles-like rash) and masurika (a pox rash). The remedy is also given.
Classical view, not medical advice.
निधनस्थे दिवानाथे भूसुतेन विलोकिते ।
The Sun may be in the 8th house, with Mars looking at it. Then spreading rash and blisters tend to come to that person.
अष्टमस्थानस्थितभौमावलोकितभानुजनितविसर्पादिदोषोपशांतये भानुप्रीतये यथोक्तमेव जपहोमस्नानदानादिकं कुर्यात् ।
Spreading rash and the like may come from the Sun in the 8th house, with Mars looking at it. Do japa (repeating a mantra), homa (fire offering)…
