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

526 बृहत्संहितायाम् [LX. 20-22. LXI. 1.
rules peculiar to each sect, the ceremony for the God,
whose devotees they are.
उदगयने सितपक्षे शिशिरगभस्तौ च जीववर्गस्थे ।
लग्ने स्थिरे स्थिरांशे सौम्यैर्धीधर्मकेन्द्रगतैः ॥२०॥
पापै रुपचयसंस्थैर्ध्रुवमृदुहरितिष्यवायुदेवेषु ।
विकुजे दिनेऽनुकूले देवानां स्थापनं शस्तम् ॥२१॥
Slokas 20-21.—The installation of deities is favoura-
ble in the northern solstice, bright half of the month,
when the Moon is posited in a Varga belonging to Jupi-
ter, when the Ascendant is a fixed sign and a fixed Na-
vamsa is rising, benefics occupy the 5th, 9th, and the
Kendra houses ; and malefics are in the Upachaya houses
(3rd, 6th, 10th and 11th) and when the Moon is in any
of the asterisms, viz., the 3 Uttaras, Rohini, Mrigasira,
Anuradha, Revati, Sravana, Tishya and Swati and on
any convenient day except Tuesday.
सामान्यमिदं समासतो लोकानां हितदं मया कृतम् ।
अधिवासनसन्निवेशने सावित्रे पृथगेव विस्तरात् ॥२२॥
Sloka 22.—Thus have I expounded succinctly this
subject conferring benefits on humanity ; but in the work
of Savitra, the consecration and setting up are treated
at length separately—or the consecration and setting
up of the Sun are separately expounded in detail in that
Sastra.
Thus ends the 60th Adhyaya on "Installation of Idols".
गोलक्षणम् ॥६१॥ Signs of Cows..
पराशरः प्राह बृहद्रथाय गोलक्षणं यत् क्रियते ततोयम् ।
मया समासः शुभलक्षणास्ताः सर्वास्तथाप्यागमतॊऽभिधास्ये ।१।
