324 बृहत्संहितायाम् [Adh. XLIII. Sl. 32-35.
नेष्टः प्रोक्तोविपर्यये हुतवहः स्निग्धो यथाभीष्टदः
सव्येऽङ्गे नृपतेर्दहन्नतिशुभः शेषं च लोकाद्वदेत् ॥
स्वाहावसानसमये स्वयमुज्ज्वलार्चिः
स्निग्धः प्रदक्षिणशिखो हुतभुग् नृपस्य ।
गङ्गादिवाकरसुताजलचारुहारां
धात्रीं समुद्ररशनां वशगां करोति ॥३२॥
Sloka 32.—If the fire at the time of Purnahuti, i. e.,
final oblation, blazes forth of its own accord, is glossy
and has its flames turning to the right, the king will
bring under his sway the whole earth with the girdle of
the oceans and the beautiful pearl-necklaces of the
waters of the Ganges and the Jumna.
चामीकराशोककुरण्टकाब्जवैदूर्यनीलोत्पलसन्निभेऽग्नौ ।
न ध्वान्तमन्तर्भवनेऽवकाशं करोति रत्नांशुहतं नृपस्य ॥३३॥
Sloka 33.—When the fire shows the hue of gold,
Asoka flower, Kuranta blossom, lotus, beryl or blue lily,
darkness will find no place inside the King's palace, as
it will be dispelled by the rays of the gems. (Such a
fire is auspicious and will confer on the King gems and
other riches).
येषां रथौघार्णवमेघदन्तिनां समस्वनोऽग्निर्यदि वापि दुन्दुभेः ।
तेषां मदान्धेभघटावघट्टिता भवन्ति याने तिमिरोपमा दिशः ॥
Sloka 34.—Those kings whose sacrificial fire emits
sound similar to that of a group of chariots, oceans,
clouds, elephants or drums, will in their march darken
the quarters, being thronged with herds of intoxicated
elephants.
ध्वजकुम्भहयेभभूभृतामनुरूपे वशमेति भूभृताम् ।
उदयास्तधराधराधरा हिमवद्विन्ध्यपयोधरा धरा ॥३५॥
