1-3. The Sage said. O Brahmin! I will now tell
you about inauspicious and unusual deliveries by
women, which are ominous for the village, town and
the country. These may be of the following kinds.
Delivery of a child 2, 3, or 4 months earlier, or
later from the approximate due date. Delivery of a
child without hands, feet, or any other limbs,
without head, or with two heads. Delivery of an
animal-shaped being by a woman, or a human-shaped
being by an animal.
4-5. Deliveries of these kinds by women, or cows
etc. in a house are ominous for all the members of
the family, living there. Therefore remedial
measures are essential for obtaining relief from
their evil effects. The best remedial measure will
be to abandon (turn out from the Bhava) such women
and animals (cows, mares etc.).
6-9. It is considered inauspicious for a girl to
become pregnant, or to deliver a child in her 15th,
or 16th year from birth. If a cow
delivers, when Sūrya is in Simh, or a female buffalo
delivers, when Sūrya is in Makar, they are
disasterous to their owner and the person, who looks
after them. Therefore either such cow, or buffalo
should be given away to a Brahmin, or suitable
remedial measures should be taken to escape from the
above-mentioned evil effects. The remedial measures
to be adopted are the same, as given in verses 3-9
in Ch. 95.
10. Thus, whenever there is any kind of Aristha,
adoption of appropriate remedial measures will
ensure long life, happiness and prosperity for the
person concerned.
