श्वेतलोहितपर्यन्ताः कृष्णग्रीवाः सविद्युतः । त्रिवर्णाः परिघाः संधौ भानुमावारयन्त्युत॥६-२-२१॥

At twilight, tri-colored halos—white and red at the edges, black-necked, and accompanied by lightning—appear and seem to obscure the sun.

english translation

ज्वलितार्केन्दुनक्षत्रं निर्विशेषदिनक्षपम् । अहोरात्रं मया दृष्टं तत्क्षयाय भविष्यति॥६-२-२२॥

I have beheld the sun, the moon, and the stars as though aflame, with day and night made indistinguishable. This will lead to destruction.

english translation

अलक्ष्यः प्रभया हीनः पौर्णमासीं च कार्त्तिकीम् । चन्द्रोऽभूदग्निवर्णश्च समवर्णे नभस्तले॥६-२-२३॥

On the Kārttikī full-moon night, the moon became scarcely visible, bereft of radiance; and in the sky it appeared fire-colored, blending into a uniform hue.

english translation

स्वप्स्यन्ति निहता वीरा भूमिमावृत्य पार्थिवाः । राजानो राजपुत्राश्च शूराः परिघबाहवः॥६-२-२४॥

Warriors will lie as if asleep, fallen upon the earth—kings and princes, heroic men with arms like iron bars.

english translation

अन्तरिक्षे वराहस्य वृषदंशस्य चोभयोः । प्रणादं युध्यतो रात्रौ रौद्रं नित्यं प्रलक्षये॥६-२-२५॥

In the mid-air I repeatedly perceive, at night, a fierce roaring as if of a boar and a bull locked in combat.
