sanskrit

[Mantra to be recited when labor pain increases] When the feeling of fetus descending into the lower abdomen getting separated from heart (upper part) is felt by mother, and fetal head has turned which gets caught in the pelvic cavity, also the labour pain becomes more frequent. At this stage she should be made to lie down on the delivery cot and urged to bear down. One of her favourite lady attendants should recite the following mantra in her ears “May the Earth, the water, the heaven, the light, the wind, Visnu and Prajapati ever protect you and the child and may they guide the delivery. O, auspicious faced one! Bring forth, without distress to yourself or to him, a son who will possess the lustre of Kartikeya and will have the protection of Kartikeya.’’
