People living in that quarter of the earth will suffer from weapons, from hunger and from other miseries in which direction a planet reappears after, or disappears by, its conjunction with the Sun.
चक्रधनुःशृङ्गाटकदण्डपुरप्रासवज्रसंस्थानाः । क्षुद्वृष्टिकरा लोके समराय च मानवैन्द्राणाम् ॥ २०-०२ ॥
If when the planets meet so as to form a circle, a bow, a triangle, a rod, a citadel, a lance or a Vajrāyuddha, mankind will suffer from starvation, from drought and from war.
The rulers of those parts of the earth will suffer from foreign invasions and be dispossessed of their countries by foreign princes which correspond to the quarters of the heavens in which the several planets are seen to meet as described above towards night-fall.
The objects and persons represented by the several asterisms in which the planets happen to meet will suffer; but if the discs of the planets should be bright and apart from one another there will be happiness in the land.
Planetary meetings are of five sorts known technically as—l. Saṃvarta, 2. Samāgama, 3. Sammoha, 4. Samāja, 5. Sannipāta and 6. Kośa. We will now define these and state their effects.
