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

30 बृहत्संहितायाम् [Adh. III. Sl. 30-33
indicates the destruction of the king who has the star
occupied by the Sun at the time as his natal asterism.
शशरुधिरनिभे भानौ नभस्तलस्थे भवन्ति सङ्ग्रामाः ।
शशिसदृशो नृपतिवधः क्षिप्रं चान्यो नृपो भवति ॥३०॥
Sloka 30.—If the Sun, while in the upper regions of
the sky be red in colour similar to the blood of the hare,
there will be war in the land. If he should appear cool
like the Moon without rays, the king will be killed and
another will soon occupy his place.
तथा च गर्गः ।
शशलोहितवर्णाभो यदा भवति भास्करः ।
तदा भवन्ति सङ्ग्रामा घोरा रुधिरकर्दमाः ॥ इति-
क्षुन्मारकृद्धटनिभः खण्डो जनहा विदीधितिर्भयदः ।
तोरणरूपः पुरहा छत्रनिभो देशनाशाय ॥३१॥
Sloka 31.—If the Sun should appear like a pot,
people would suffer hunger and death. If he should ap-
pear broken, people will die. If he should be without
rays, it indicates fear ; if he assumes the form of an arch,
the chief city will be ruined ; if he appears like an
umbrella, it indicates the destruction of the whole country.
ध्वजचापनिभे युद्धानि भास्करे वेपने च रूक्षे च ।
कृष्णा रेखा सवितरि यदि हन्ति ततो नृपं सचिवः ॥३२॥
Sloka 32.—When the Sun appears in the form of a
flag-staff or a bow, there will be war ; the same will be
the case when he is quivering or of sharp rays. If there
should be any black streak in his disc, the king ruling at
the time will be killed by his own minister.
In the 4th पाद, नृप सचिवम् is another reading.
दिवसकरमुदयसंस्थितमुल्काशानिविद्युतो यदा हन्युः ।
नरपतिमरणं विद्यात्तदान्यराजप्रतिष्ठा च ॥३३॥
