Sloka 6.—At the approach of sunset on the full-
moon day of Ashadha, if the north-easterly wind be
very strong, have a dense appearance and resemble
broken bodies of serpents (or Garuda), then it should be
known that the earth will possess the fulness of blessings,
on account of great happiness, caused by the all-round-
growth of splendid crops and torrents of rain, wherein
the frogs rejoice and croak continuously.
मेरुग्रस्तमरीचिमण्डलतले ग्रीष्मावसाने रवौ

Sloka 7.—If, at the end of the Grishma Season (i, e.

disseminating the fragrance of the sweet-scented
Kadamba flowers, the clouds will inundate the earth
with water, as though mad (crying madly as it were),
and intoxicated by the sight of splendid illumination
caused by the flashes of lightning and destroying the
rays of the Moon on the earth.
