Kshatriyas, and the growth of crops, but creates mis-
understanding among friends. If Venus be overpowered
(by another planet) in this Mandala, death overtakes the
Kirata-chieftain, and the Ikshvakus will be crushed. So
also will be the cave-men, people of Avanti, Pulindas,
Tanganas and Surasenas.
ज्येष्ठाद्यं पञ्चक्षं क्षुत्तस्कररोगदं प्रबाधयते ।
काश्मीराश्मकमत्स्यान् सचारुदेवीन्वन्तींश्च ॥१८॥
अत्रारोहेद् द्रविडाभीरम्बष्ठत्रिगर्तसौराष्ट्रान् ।
नाशयति सिन्धुसौवीरकांश्च काशीश्वरस्य वधः ॥१९॥
Slokas 18-19.—The five asterisms beginning with
Jyeshta constitute the fifth मण्डल. Herein, the people
will suffer from hunger, robbers and diseases. Similarly
the people of Kashmira, Asmaka, Matsya, Avanti and
those living on the banks of the Charudevi will be in
distress. If Venus be overpowered here, he destroys
the Dravidas, Abheeras, Ambashtas, Trigarthas and
Saurashtras, people of Sindhu and the Sauveerakas. The
king of Kasi will meet with his end.
षष्ठं षण्णक्षत्रं शुभमेतन्मण्डलं धनिष्ठाद्यम् ।
भूरिधनगोकुलाकुलमनल्पधान्यं क्वचित्सभयम् ॥२०॥
अत्रारोहेच्छूलिकगान्धारावन्तयः प्रपीड्यन्ते ।
वैदेहवधः प्रत्यन्तयवनशकदासपरिवृद्धिः ॥२१॥
Slokas 20-21.—The sixth Mandala which is auspi-
cious is composed of six asterisms beginning with
Dhanishta. The period will be marked by an increase
of prosperity, cattle-wealth and food-grains ; but in some
places there will be fear. If Venus be assailed here, he
will cause distress to the Sulikas, people of Gandhara and
