1-7. The Sage Parasara said. O Maitreya! If the
birth takes place in the Nakshatras of the brother
and the parents, death takes place, without doubt,
of the brother and the father, or mother, or they
have to undergo death-like suffering. Therefore I am
going to describe the remedial measures to be
adopted to escape from these evil effects. The
remedial rites should be performed in a Muhurta,
when Candr and stars are favourable on a day, on
which there is no Rikta-Bhadra Dosha. The remedial
rites should be performed in the following order.
Instal an idol of the Janm Nakshatr on a Kalash in
the North-East direction from the fire. Cover it
with a red piece of cloth and then warp two pieces
of cloth round it. Worship the idol by chanting the
Mantras of the Janm Nakshatr. According to one’s
Gotra, perform Havan 108 times with the recitation
of the same Mantra, facing the fire, with Ghī and
other Havan material. Then the priest, performing
the Puja, should sprinkle water on the parents and
brother (whoever is concerned). Give presents in
cash (Dakshena) to the priest and his colleagues,
associated with the ceremony, to the best of one’s
means and then feed the Brahmins to the best of
one’s means.
