Brihat Samhita
अन्यैश्च कुम्भैर्नृपनामचिह्नैर् देशाङ्कितैश्चाप्यपरैस्तथएव । भग्नैः स्रुतैर्न्यूनजलैः सुपूर्णैर् भाग्यानि वाच्यानि यथानुरूपम् ॥ २४-२७ ॥
If it should be desired to ascertain the fate of any sovereign or country during the year, there should be placed fresh pots each to represent a sovereign or a country. If on examining, any of these pots should be found split or broken the sovereign or the country represented will suffer miseries; if the water should have disappeared, then also they will suffer and if full, they will be happy.
