Brihat Samhita
ईतिप्राया प्रचुरपवना वृष्टिरब्दे तु पूर्वे मन्दं सस्यं न बहुसलिलं वत्सरे अतो द्वितीये । अत्युद्वेगः प्रचुरसलिलः स्यात्तृतीयश्चतुर्थो दुर्भिक्षाय प्लव इति ततः शोभनो भूरितोयः ॥ ८-४० ॥
In the first of these years crops will generally be injured and there will be storm and rain; in the second year crops will not grow in abundance and the rainfall will not be much; in the third year mankind will be afflicted with fears and there will be much rain; in the fourth year there will be famine; in Plava, the fifth year, there will be prosperity in the land and also much rain.
