painters; one in the N. E. (29th), peril from fire and
corruption of noble ladies.

one in the next (31st), danger from dyers (washermen)
and perfumers.

Sloka 42.-An omen in the last (32nd) division of
the circle causes trouble from elephant-drivers, and death
of one's elephants (or one's own death through an ele-
phant). An omen stationed inside in the Eastern spoke
that is 'Burning' causes undoubtedly the demise of the
wife.

ग्रामीणगोपपीडा च तत्र नाभ्यां तथात्मवधः ॥४५॥
Slokas 43-45.-An omen appearing in the South-
eastern spoke that is 'Burning' indicates clash of arms
and outbreak of fire, and causes the destruction of horses
and danger from artists; one in the Southern spoke
leads to the destruction of meritorious deeds; in the South-
western spoke, to death from fire, sudden attack of
ruffians; in the Western spoke, to danger from workers.
