सर्वत्र भूर्विरलसस्ययुता वनानि दैवाद्बिभक्षयिषुदंष्ट्रिसमावृतानि । नद्यश् च नैव हि पयः प्रचुरं स्रवन्ति रुग्भेषजानि न तथातिबलान्वितानि ॥ १९-०१ ॥
If the Sun should be the lord of the year, month or day, there will be crops here and there, the forests will be full of wild, carnivorous animals seeking for prey; springs will yield but little water; rivers will fall; and diseases and medicine will not gain much in strength.
The heat of the Sun will be felt intolerable even in the dewy season; clouds though resembling mountains in size will not yield much rain; the sky will be full of heavenly bodies of lost lustre; ascetics and cows will be afflicted with miseries.
Princes will range over the land in military order with proud elephants, horses, foot-soldiers and other strength, armed with bows, swords, cudgels and engaged in attacking countries as they march.
If the Moon should be the lord of the year, the sky will be filled with clouds moving like mountains and of the colour of black cobra, collyrium or the bee and filling the whole Earth with water and the skv with the roar of thunder.
The tanks will appear beautiful by the presence, in them, of the lotus and the white lily, the groves will be full of flower trees rendered charming by the humming of black bees. Cows will yield abundance of milk, and will thrive; and wives will please their husbands by acts of love forever.
