अभीक्ष्णं कम्पते भूमिरर्कं राहुस्तथाग्रसत् । श्वेतो ग्रहस्तथा चित्रां समतिक्रम्य तिष्ठति॥६-३-११॥

The earth repeatedly trembles; Rāhu, likewise, seizes the sun; and a pale planet, having passed beyond Citrā, remains stationed there.

english translation

अभावं हि विशेषेण कुरूणां प्रतिपश्यति । धूमकेतुर्महाघोरः पुष्यमाक्रम्य तिष्ठति॥६-३-१२॥

It specifically portends ruin for the Kurus: a highly fearsome comet stands, having encroached upon Puṣya.

english translation

सेनयोरशिवं घोरं करिष्यति महाग्रहः । मघास्वङ्गारको वक्रः श्रवणे च बृहस्पतिः॥६-३-१३॥

A major planet will bring severe inauspiciousness upon both armies: Aṅgāraka (Mars) is retrograde in Maghā, and Bṛhaspati (Jupiter) is in Śravaṇa.

english translation

भाग्यं नक्षत्रमाक्रम्य सूर्यपुत्रेण पीड्यते । शुक्रः प्रोष्ठपदे पूर्वे समारुह्य विशां पते । उत्तरे तु परिक्रम्य सहितः प्रत्युदीक्षते॥६-३-१४॥

Having encroached upon the Bhāgya nakṣatra, the Sun’s son presses upon it. O lord of the people, Śukra (Venus), ascending in Pūrvaproṣṭhapadā and then circling in Uttaraproṣṭhapadā, appears in conjunction, as though facing back.

english translation

श्यामो ग्रहः प्रज्वलितः सधूमः सहपावकः । ऐन्द्रं तेजस्वि नक्षत्रं ज्येष्ठामाक्रम्य तिष्ठति॥६-३-१५॥

A dark planet, blazing with smoke and fire, stands there after encroaching upon the radiant Aindra nakṣatra—Jyeṣṭhā.
