पीडयन्ति यदि कृत्तिकां मघां रोहिणीं श्रवं ऐन्द्रं एव वा । प्रोज्झ्य सूर्यं अपरे ग्रहास्तदा पश्चिमा दिगनयेन पीड्यते ॥ ४७-०६ ॥
If the Moon and the five planets should oppress any of the asterisms of Kṛttikā, Maghā, Rohiṇī, Śravaṇa and Jyeṣṭhā, iniquity would prevail in the western countries.
प्राच्यां चेद्ध्वजवदवस्थिता दिनान्ते प्राच्यानां भवति हि विग्रहो नृपाणाम् । मध्ये चेद्भवति हि मध्यदेश पीठा रूक्षैस्तैर्न तु रुचिमन् मयूखवद्भिः ॥ ४७-०७ ॥
If in the evening, the planets should appear of the shape of a flagstaff in the eastern sky, the eastern rulers would be at war with one another; if the planets should be seen of the same shape but of disagreeable appearance and in midheaven, the people of Madhyadeśa would suffer miseries. But if the appearance should be agreeable, there would be no suffering.
If the planets should so appear in the southern sky, there would be drought in the southern countries; and if the planets should appear of small ugly discs, the rulers would be at war with one another; but if the discs should be large and bright, there would be prosperity in the land.
If the planets should be seen of bright appearance in the northern sky, the northern rulers will be freed from evils; but if the discs of the planets should be small and of ashy colour, the rulers would suffer with their countries.
नक्षत्राणां तारकाः सग्रहाणाम् धूमज्वालाविस्फुलिङ्गान्विताश्चेत् । आलोकं वा निर्निमित्तं न यान्ति याति ध्वंसं सर्वलोकः सभूपः ॥ ४७-१० ॥
If the constellations, the stars and the planets, should appear to smoke, to burn or to be covered with sparks of fíre, or to lose their light for no apparent cause, the rulers and the world would perish.
