अग्निवर्णा यथा भासः शस्त्राणामुदकस्य च । कवचानां ध्वजानां च भविष्यति महान्क्षयः॥६-३-२१॥
The gleam of weapons—and even the sheen of water—appeared fire-colored; and there would be great destruction of armor and standards, a sign of vast material loss.
english translation
दिक्षु प्रज्वलितास्याश्च व्याहरन्ति मृगद्विजाः । अत्याहितं दर्शयन्तो वेदयन्ति महद्भयम्॥६-३-२२॥
In every direction, beasts and birds cried out as though their mouths were aflame; in extreme agitation they conveyed a great fear—another portent of the crisis to come.
english translation
एकपक्षाक्षिचरणः शकुनिः खचरो निशि । रौद्रं वदति संरब्धः शोणितं छर्दयन्मुहुः॥६-३-२३॥
At night a bird—maimed on one side in wing, eye, and foot—moved through the sky; in agitated fury it uttered harsh cries and repeatedly vomited blood, a dire omen.
english translation
ग्रहौ ताम्रारुणशिखौ प्रज्वलन्ताविव स्थितौ । सप्तर्षीणामुदाराणां समवच्छाद्य वै प्रभाम्॥६-३-२४॥
Two grahas with copper-red crests appeared as if ablaze, obscuring the radiance of the noble Seven Ṛṣis (the Saptarṣi constellation).
