294 बृहत्संहितायाम् [Adh. XXXIV. 19-23.
विप्रक्षत्रियविट्शूद्रहा भवेत् प्रतिपदादिषु क्रमशः ।
श्रेणीपुरकोशानां पञ्चम्यादिष्वशुभकारी ॥१९॥
युवराजस्याष्टम्यां परतस्त्रिषु पार्थिवस्य दोषकरः ।
पुररोधो द्वादश्यां सैन्यक्षोभस्त्रयोदश्याम् ॥२०॥
नरपतिपत्नीपीडा परिवेषोऽभ्युत्थितश्चतुर्दश्याम् ।
कुर्यात्तु पञ्चदश्यां पीडां मनुजाधिपस्यैव ॥२१॥
Slokas 19-21. — On the first four days of a lunar
month, a halo destroys severally Brahmins, Kshatriyas,
Vaisyas and Sudras ; on the 5th, 6th and 7th days, trade
guild, town and royal treasury, respectively ; on the 8th
day, Yuvaraja ; on the 9th, 10th and 11th, it is harmful
to the king ; on the 12th, it causes a town to be besieged ;
on the 13th, mutiny in the army ; on the 14th, danger to
the queen ; and on the 15th, to the king himself.
नागरकाणामभ्यन्तरस्थिता यायिनां च बाह्यस्था ।
परिवेषमध्यरेखा विज्ञेयाक्रन्दसाराणाम् ॥२२॥
रक्तः श्यामो रूक्षश्च भवति येषां पराजयस्तेषाम् ।
स्निग्धः श्वेतो द्युतिमान् येषां भागो जयस्तेषाम् ॥२३॥
Slokas 22-23. — The line in the interior of a halo
pertains to kings staying in town ; one in its exterior, to
the marchers ; and the central one, to the allies coming
to the rescue. A line which is blood-red or dark and
rough denotes defeat to those kings whom it represents,
while that which is glossy, white and lustrous, indicates
victory to those kings whose line it happens to be.
Thus ends the Thirtyfourth Adhyaya on 'Halos.'
