DO’s AND DON’Ts IN DAY TO DAY LIFE - PART 30

The taint due to delivery of a woman goes only if they take Pancha Gavya after the prescribed period of taint. This is made as a mixture of five products of a cow. (Cow’s urine one part, half thumb size of cow dung(50% of Cow’s urine), seven parts milk, 3 parts curd, one part Ghee, one part Durbha grass and water should be mixed to prepare Pancha Gavya.

The following manthra has to be chanted while taking Pancha Gavyam:-

“ Yath thwack asthigatham papam , dehe thishtathi mamage,
Prasanam Pancha gavyasya dahathu agneeriva indhanam.”

“யத் த்வக் அஸ்திகதம் பாபம் தேஹே திஷ்டதி மாமகே

ப்ராசனம் பஞ்சகவ்யஸ்ய தஹத்வக்னிரிவேந்தனம் “

(Meaning: the sin that is accumulated in my skin and bones, is burned by Pancha Gavya like a fire burning dry wood.)

Once a Brahmin knows that his wife is in the family way, he has to observe some disciplines. He should not shave or cut his hair till the birth of the child. He should not eat as a Brahmin in Sradha. He should not take bath in the sea. He should not travel. He should not go to cremation ground. He should not carry a corpse. If he does any of this, he would go to hell and the health of the baby would get affected.
