Chisnell's method of shock propagation is generalized for the case of inhomogeneous gravitating gases. The relation between shock strength and initial pressure is derived to the first approximation, using polytropic index as parameter. The strength of a shock wave, which is generated near center and progresses outwards, increases rapidly, being proportional to some inverse power of pressure near the surface. Applying the results to the Eddington model, some speculation concerning the origin of nova explosion is made.
