Brihat Samhita
सैकावलीव राजति ससितोत्पलमालिनी सहासेव । नाथवतीव च दिग्यैः कौवेरी सप्तभिर्मुनिभिः ॥ १३-०१ ॥
I shall now expound about the movements of the Seven Ṛṣis (Saptarṣi), through whom the northern region shines as though bedecked with a pearl necklace, like a maiden with a smiling countenance wearing a garland of white lotuses.
