स्वातौ निशांशे प्रथमे अभिवृष्टे सस्यानि सर्वाण्युपयान्ति वृद्धिम् । भागे द्वितीये तिलमुद्गमाषा ग्रैष्मं तृतीये अस्ति न शारदानि ॥ २५-०२ ॥

Dividing both the day and night of the Svāti Yoga day each into three equal parts, if at night there should be a fall of rain during the first division, all the crops will flourish; if during the second division, gingelly, green gram and black gram will thrive and if during the third division, the crops of Grīṣma will thrive and those of Śarad will perish.

वृष्टे अह्निभागे प्रथमे सुवृष्टिस्तद्वद्द्वितीये तु सकीटसर्पा । वृष्टिस्तु मध्यापरभागवृष्टे निश्छिद्रवृष्टिर्द्युनिशं प्रवृष्टे ॥ २५-०३ ॥

If there should be a fall of rain during the first division of the day, there will be abundant rain in winter; the same remark applies to the second and third divisions; but in these two cases worms and serpents will afflict mankind. If there should be a fall of rain throughout the day and night there will be uninterrupted rain for several days in winter.
