In the month of Phālguna, the wind is dry and fierce, while masses of clouds are glossy and abundant; halos appear complete, and the Sun, tawny and copper-hued, is auspicious.
In the month of Chaitra, the clouds are auspicious, accompanied by wind and rain and marked by halos; and in Vaiśākha, dense clouds, winds, rainwater, lightning, and thunder occur for the benefit (of the land).
If the pregnant clouds should be of the colour of pearls or silver or of the colour of the bark of the Tamāla tree or of the blue lotus or of collyrium, they will yield abundance of rain.
If the pregnant clouds should be exposed to the hot rays of the Sun, if they should be accompanied by gentle winds and appear as if covered by drops of rain, they will yield abundance of rain.
The signs that cause injury to the embryos (clouds) are meteors, lightning, falls of dust, and burning of the quarters; earthquakes, sky-portents, pillars of light over cities, comets, planetary conflicts, and thunderous crashes.
