स्वातावषाढास्वथ रोहिणीषु पापग्रहा योगगता न शस्ताः । ग्राह्यं तु योगद्वयं अप्युपोष्य यदाधिमासो द्विगुणीकरोति ॥ २६-११ ॥

In the Svāti, Āṣādhī and Rohiṇī Yogas, if the Moon should be accompanied by malefic planets, there will be misery in the land. If on account of the intervention of the intercalary lunar month, the Yoga day should occur twice, the observation shall be made on both the days and the effect, whether good or bad, will be doubled.

त्रयो अपि योगाः सदृशाः फलेन यदा तदा वाच्यं असंशयेन । विपर्यये यत्त्विह रोहिणीजं फलं तदेवाभ्यधिकं निगद्यम् ॥ २६-१२ ॥

If the observations of the three Yogas point to effects of the same character, the prediction may be made without hesitation; but if the effects are different, those of Rohiṇī Yoga should be adopted.
