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

726 बृहत्संहितायाम् [Adh. XCVI. Sl. 6-8.
ant happening to be a watery sign (Cancer, Capricorn,
Pisces), in a watery asterism (Purvashadha, Satabhisha),
in a watery Muhurta (having the name of water or pre-
sided over by Varuna), in a quarter presided over by
Varuna, and in a place where there is water, that occur
at the end of the fortnights, that are ' blasted ' (by Gods
or by action), and that cry, produce rain. Under the
same circumstances, even a ' Tranquil ' omen that is
aquatic causes rain.
आग्नेयदिग्लग्नमुहूर्त्तदेशेष्वर्कप्रदीप्तोऽग्निभयाय रौति ।
विष्ट्यां यमक्षोदयकण्टकेषु निष्पत्रवल्लीषु च दोषकृत् स्यात् ॥६॥
Sloka 6.—An omen blasted by the Sun and posited
in the S. E. corner in a fiery Ascendant (Aries, Leo,
Scorpio, Capricorn or Aquarius), in a fiery Muhurta, in
the Krittika asterism, and in a place where fire is kept,
causes danger from fire, while crying ; similarly one
occurring in Vishti Karana, in a star presided over by
Yama (Bharani), in a sign of Saturn happening to be
the Ascendant and in thorny trees, and on creepers
without leaves, causes harm.
ग्राम्यः प्रदीप्तः स्वरचेष्टिताभ्यामुग्रो रुवन् कण्टकिनि स्थितश्च ।
भौमर्क्षलग्ने यदि नैर्ऋतीं च स्थितोऽभितश्चेत्कलहाय दृष्टः ॥७॥
Sloka 7.—A rural bird or beast that is ' blasted '
by voice or action, that is crying fiercely, that is stand-
ing on a thorny tree in S. W., in a Lagna owned by
Mars, and facing a person, leads to quarrel when seen.
लग्नेऽथवेन्दोर्भृगुभांशसंस्थे विदिक्स्थितोऽधोवदनश्च रौति ।
दीप्तः स चेत् सङ्ग्रहणं करोति योन्या तया या विदिशि प्रदिष्टा ॥८॥
