पराजयं धार्तराष्ट्रे विजयं च युधिष्ठिरे । शंसन्त इव वार्ष्णेय विविधा लोमहर्षणाः॥५-१४१-६॥

Various hair-raising phenomena, O Vārṣṇeya, seem to proclaim defeat for the Dhārtarāṣṭras and victory for Yudhiṣṭhira.

english translation

प्राजापत्यं हि नक्षत्रं ग्रहस्तीक्ष्णो महाद्युतिः । शनैश्चरः पीडयति पीडयन्प्राणिनोऽधिकम्॥५-१४१-७॥

For the Prājāpatya nakṣatra is being afflicted by Śanaiścara—an intense, greatly luminous planet—thereby afflicting living beings all the more.

english translation

कृत्वा चाङ्गारको वक्रं ज्येष्ठायां मधुसूदन । अनुराधां प्रार्थयते मैत्रं संशमयन्निव॥५-१४१-८॥

And Aṅgāraka, having become retrograde in Jyeṣṭhā, O Madhusūdana, seeks Anurādhā as if attempting to pacify through ‘friendship’

english translation

नूनं महद्भयं कृष्ण कुरूणां समुपस्थितम् । विशेषेण हि वार्ष्णेय चित्रां पीडयते ग्रहः॥५-१४१-९॥

Surely, O Kṛṣṇa, a great danger has come upon the Kurus; in particular, O Vārṣṇeya, a planet afflicts Citrā.

english translation

सोमस्य लक्ष्म व्यावृत्तं राहुरर्कमुपेष्यति । दिवश्चोल्काः पतन्त्येताः सनिर्घाताः सकम्पनाः॥५-१४१-१०॥

The lunar mark appears distorted; Rāhu draws near the sun. From the sky, meteoric fireballs fall, accompanied by thunder-like reports and tremors.
