224 बृहत्संहितायाम् [Adh. XXIV. Sl. 1-3.
Sloka 10.—If an asterism be afflicted by the Sun,
Saturn or Ketu, or hurt by Mars, or by the three-fold
portent, there will be no prosperity to mankind, nor
will there be any rain. But if the asterism be unhurt
and conjoined with benefics, beneficial results will accrue.

सूर्यसौरहते वाच्यं नक्षत्र भौमघातिते ।
उत्पातैस्त्रिविधैर्वापि राहुणा केतुनापि वा ॥
अवृष्टिमशुभं विन्द्याद्विपरीते शुभं वदेत् ।
Thus ends the 23rd Adhyaya on "The Quantity of Rainfall".

Slokas 1-3.—I shall now try to expound briefly
the good and bad effects arising from the Moon's con-
junction with Rohini, having duly taken cognisance of
them as explained by Garga, Parasara, Kasyapa and
Maya to their hosts of pupils and as instructed by
Brihaspati to Narada in the park on the summit of the
Meru, which resounds with the humming of the bees
clinging to the flowers of the trees in the caves of
the golden rocks, which rings with the twitterings of
