Brihat Samhita
कार्तिके अश्वयुजि वा यदि मासे दृश्यते तनुभवः शिशिरांशोः । शस्त्रचौरहुतभुग्गदतोयक्षुद्भयानि च तदा विदधाति ७-१८ ॥
If Mercury should so reappear in the month of Kārttika or Aśvayuja, there will be wars in the land and mankind will suffer from robbers, from fire, from disease, from flood and from hunger.
