बृहत्संहिता (आचार्य वराहमिहिर - स्थापत्य, खगोल, मौसम व जल विज्ञान)

Adh. XIX. Sl. 22.] एकोनविंशोऽध्यायः 203
of robbers, will be deprived of cattle and properties
and whole families will cry piteously owing to the
murder of their near and dear ones and be oppressed
by fell diseases and hunger. The sky will be bereft of
clouds being chased by the wind ; all the trees with their
branches broken down will cover the earth. The sky will
not be illuminated by the rays of the Sun and the Moon,
since it is covered with a dense mass of dust. Tanks
and lakes will dry up ; and the rivers will become very
shallow. In some parts, the crops will perish for want of
water, in others, they get on being watered by artificial
means ; and the Rain-god yields but little rain.

Śloka 22.—If a planet be small, with faint rays, be
posited in his depression house or be overcome by another,
he will not give any good result. If he be otherwise i. e.,
big, with brilliance, posited in a good house, or be
victorious in war, he will confer great prosperity. If the
lords of the year and the month be both malefic, then
