शिशिरादिषु वर्णाः शोणपीतसितचित्रपद्मरुधिरनिभाः । प्रकृतिभवाः सन्ध्यायां स्वर्तौ शस्ता विकृतिरन्या ॥ ३०-२२ ॥

If in the Śiśira (dewy) and other seasons of the year, the twilight sky should be naturally red, yellow, white or variegated in colour, or of the colour of lotus or of blood, there will be prosperity in the land during such seasons; but if the colour be not a natural one, that is, brought on by dust-storms and the like, mankind will suffer miseries.
