If two Moons should be seen in the sky, the Brāhmaṇas would prosper; if two Suns should be seen, the Kṣatriyas would be at war; if three or four Suns should be seen in the sky, the world would come to an end.
If a comet should be seen to pass through or be in contact with the constellation of Ursa Major (the Saptaṛṣis), the Abhijit, the Pole-star and the constellation of Jyeṣṭhā, the clouds would be destroyed; there would be good deeds in the land and men would suffer from grief. If the comet should appear in contact with Āśleṣā, there would be drought in the land; and the people with hungry children would quit their countries and travelling to foreign lands, would perish there. This is certain.
प्राग्द्वारेषु चरन्रविपुत्रो नक्षत्रेषु करोति च वक्रम् । दुर्भिक्षं कुरुते महदुग्रं मित्राणां च विरोधं अवृष्टिम् ॥ ४७-१३ ॥
When Saturn is seen to retrograde through any of the seven asterisms from Krittikā, there will be famine in the land and mankind will suffer from great fears; friends will become hostile to one another, and there will also be drought in the land.
रोहिणीशकटं अर्कनन्दनो यदि भिनत्ति रुधिरो अथ वा शिखी । किं वदामि यदनिष्टसागरे जगदशेषं उपयाति संक्षयम् ॥ ४७-१४ ॥
When the course of Saturn or of Mars or of a comet should lie through the circle (Śakaṭa) of the constellation of Rohiṇī, the whole world would sink in a deep sea of misery and perish; and how can I adequately describe the condition of suffering of humanity then!
If a comet should continue visible for a long time, or if it should pass through all the constellations, all the creatures together with all the moveable and immoveable objects would suffer miseries in accordance with their previous karma.
