Chapter 79 · Visarpa: the stars
विसर्प — ज्योतिःशास्त्रम्
निधनस्थे दिवानाथे भूसुतेन विलोकिते ।विसर्पस्फोटका रोगा जायंते तस्य जन्मिनः ॥
The Sun may be in the 8th house, with Mars looking at it. Then spreading rash and blisters tend to come to that person.
Classical view, not medical advice.
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)…
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)…
