स्त्रीरोग — ज्योतिःशास्त्रम्
This Stri roga astrology chapter covers a difficult birth and childlessness in women. It gives Saturn and Mercury rules, quoting Shripati.
Classical view, not medical advice.
It says to ease them by puja for each planet.
The English below is our translation from the Sanskrit.
Mudhagarbha (difficult birth) - the stars
अथ ज्योतिश्शास्त्राभिप्रायेण मूढगर्भत्वहेतुमाह तत्प्रतीकारं च ।
Next, according to jyotisha (astrology), the text gives the cause of a difficult birth, and its remedy.
Mudhagarbha (difficult birth) - the stars
लग्ने शनैश्वरांशे शनैश्वरे द्व्यूनगे यदि निषेकः ।वर्षत्रयेण सूतिर्द्वादशभिः स्याच्छनिनैवम् ॥
At conception, the lagna (rising sign) may fall in a navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign) of Saturn. Saturn may be in the 7th house. Then the birth comes after three years. In the same way, by Saturn, it comes after twelve [years]. (Our text is unclear here: the second case names Saturn again; the Moon may be meant.)
Mudhagarbha (difficult birth) - the stars
लग्नस्वांशसप्तमभवनस्थितशनिचंद्रजनितबाधोपशमनाय पृथक् पूजादिकं कुर्यात् ।
Trouble may come from Saturn and the Moon placed as above: the lagna (rising sign) in Saturn's own navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign), and the planet in the 7th house. To ease it, one should do puja (worship) and the rest. This is done for each planet separately.
Vandhyatva (childlessness) - the stars
अथ नारीणां ज्योतिश्शास्त्राभिप्रायेण वंध्यात्वहेतुमा ह।जन्मनि विवाहे वा सप्तमभवनस्थिते शनौ बुधे च वंध्या इति श्रीपतिवचनात् सप्तगे पापदृष्टे शनौ कन्यैव जरां समुपयातीति वंध्यात्वं सूचयति । तद्दोषोपशांतये बुधशनिप्रीतये पूर्वोक्तमेव क्रमेण पूजादिकं कुर्यात् ।
Next, the text gives the cause of childlessness in women, according to jyotisha (astrology). As Shripati says: a woman is childless if Saturn and Mercury are in the 7th house at birth or at marriage. If Saturn is in the 7th house and bad planets look at it, the girl grows old as a maiden. This points to childlessness. To ease this dosha (fault), one should do puja (worship) and the rest. The order is the same as before. It is done to please Mercury and Saturn.
Unit 95.4 names Saturn and Mercury in the 7th house at birth or at marriage.
