मुनीनभिजितं ध्रुवं मघवतश्च भं संस्पृशन् शिखी घनविनाशकृत्कुशलकर्महा शोकदः । भुजङ्गम् अथ संस्पृशेद्भवति वृष्टिनाशो ध्रुवं क्षयं व्रजति विद्रुतो जनपदश्च बालाकुलः ॥ ४७-१२ ॥

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.
