दैवविदविहितचित्तो द्युनिशं यो गर्भलक्षणे भवति । तस्य मुनेरिव वाणी न भवति मिथ्याम्बुनिर्देशे ॥ २१-०३ ॥
The predictions of an astronomer who pays exclusive attention, both day and night to the indications of rain afforded by pregnant clouds (garbhalakṣaṇa), will as little fail of success as the words of Ṛṣis.
What science can possibly excel, in interest, the science relating to the prediction of rain, by a thorough study of which one though ignorant in other matters passes for a great astrologer in this Iron Age.
के चिद्वदन्ति कार्तिक शुक्लान्तं अतीत्य गर्भदिवसाः स्युः । न च तन्मतं बहूनां गर्गऽदीनां मतं वक्ष्ये ॥ २१-०५ ॥
Some say that the days of the appearance of the pregnant clouds immediately follow the bright half of the lunar mouth of Kārttika—October and November. This view is however not in accordance with the views of many writers on the subject. We therefore will give here the views of Garga and others.
