पीत्वा क्षीरं क्षौद्रयुतं नाशयेदसृजः स्त्रुतिम् / आटरूपकमूलेन भगं नाभिं च लेपयेत् / सुखं प्रसूयते नारी नात्र कार्या विचारणा
pītvā kṣīraṃ kṣaudrayutaṃ nāśayedasṛjaḥ strutim / āṭarūpakamūlena bhagaṃ nābhiṃ ca lepayet / sukhaṃ prasūyate nārī nātra kāryā vicāraṇā
મધુયુક્ત દૂધ પીવાથી રક્તસ્રાવ શમે છે. આટરূপકના મૂળથી ભગપ્રદેશ અને નાભિ પર લેપ કરવો. ત્યારે સ્ત્રી સુખથી પ્રસવ કરે છે—અહીં શંકા કરવાની જરૂર નથી.

FAQs
This verse shows that the Garuda Purana also preserves practical, dharmic household guidance—here, traditional measures aimed at reducing bleeding and supporting an easier delivery.
It does not directly discuss the soul’s post-death journey; instead, it focuses on preserving life and wellbeing through traditional remedies, reflecting the Purana’s broader concern with sustaining dharma in family life.
Treat it as a historical traditional-health reference; for real childbirth or bleeding issues, rely on qualified medical care, using any herbal practices only with professional guidance and safety checks.
