Note 297 — Chapter CCXXVI · THE SAME SUBJECT CONTINUED.
Manmatha Nath Dutt translation
The purport of the sloka is that some stars as Pushya etc., are favourable for having a son and Rohini and others for a daughter. The woman, who wishes to have a son, must give away presents under the auspices of the former; and she, who wishes to have a daughter, must do so under the auspices of the latter. We have rendered the sloka freely to make the sense clear.
