कृषि-पाराशर (महर्षि पराशर - प्राचीन भारतीय कृषि, मृदा-परीक्षण, वर्षा-पूर्वानुमान व बीज-संस्कार)

KṚṢI-PARĀŚARA 79
Now the rule about the preservation of seeds
157. Collect all seeds either in the month of Māgha or in
Phālguna, and dry them up thoroughly in the sun ; do not keep
them down.
158. Having made a small packet of seeds, purge the chaff ;
seed mixed with chaff is extremely damaging to crops.
159. Seeds, which are uniform yield a plentiful harvest ; hence,
carefully make them of the same kind.
160. Having made a very tight packet, cut off the grass that
has come out. This being with grass uncut, crops become full of
grass.
161. Do not keep seeds on an ant-hill, in the cowshed, the
place where a woman has been delivered of a child, nor also in a
house having a barren woman in it.
162. Do not allow the seed to come in contact with remnant of
food, a woman in her monthly impurity, a barren woman, a woman
in the family way and a woman just delivered of a child.
163. The cultivator should not, even by mistake, keep on seeds
ghee, oil, butter-milk, lamp and salt,
So also (says) Gārgya—
164. The seed that has come in contact with a lamp, fire,
smoke, that has been damaged by rain, and has been covered up in
holes, is always to be rejected.
165. Never, even by mistake, sow the seed that is kept under-
ground and is mixed up ; the seed that is a chaff or mixed with
particles (of grains ?) becomes barren.
166. The cultivator, manure, field, bull, mass of clouds—all
these become useless when the seed is barren.
167. This rule is declared for sesamum, paddy and barley.
Therefore, take care of the seed ; the wealth of harvest depends on
seeds.
Now the procedure about sowing seeds
168. Sowing is known to be best in Vaiśākha, of middle
quality in Jyaiṣṭha, bad in Āṣāḍha and worst in Śrāvaṇa.

80 KṚṢI-PARĀŚARA
169. The sowing of seeds for transplantation is said to be best
in Āṣāḍha (or Jyaiṣṭha)¹, bad in Śrāvaṇa and worst in Bhādra.
170. The sowing of seeds is best in the three Uttaras², Mūlā,
Jyeṣṭhā, Anurādhā, Maghā, Mṛgaśiras, Rohiṇī, Hastā and Revatī.
171. Man gets (only) seed by sowing the seed in Śravaṇā,
the Pūrvas³, Viśākhā, Bharaṇī, Ārdrā and Aśleṣā.
172. In sowing and transplantation, avoid the two days: there
is fear from rats on Tuesday and from locusts and insects on Saturday.
173. Do not cause (seeds) to be sown in the lunar mansion
(called) Riktā,⁴ particularly in the period of the waning moon. Act-
ing thus properly, one gets an increase of crops.
174. A farmer, desirous of fruits, should avoid sowing of all
crops in the three days and a half at the close of Jyaiṣṭha as well as
in the beginning of Āṣāḍha.
175. During the three days between the end of Taurus (i. e.
Jyaiṣṭha) and the beginning of Gemini (i. e. Āṣāḍha), the (earth) is
menstruated ; do not cause the seed to be sown then. (Failing to
observe this) man perishes through sin.
So also—
176. In the period between the cessation of Mṛgaśiras and the
first quarter of Ārdrā, Ambuvācī⁵ takes place, (and) the earth becomes
menstruated for three days which one should avoid. If the cultivator
goes to the field and sows the seed (in this period) he will not be the
possessor of fruits; this period is dangerous.
1 “Śuci—a particular hot month (acc. to some = Āṣādha or Jyaiṣṭha, àcc, to
others ‘the hot season in general’) “—Skt.-Eng. Dictionary (M. Wms.)
2 The three Nakṣatras called Uttara-phalguni, Uttarāṣāḍhā and Uttara-
bhādrapada.
3 The three Nakṣatras called Pūrva-phalguni, Pūrvāṣāḍhā and Pūrva-
bhādrapada.
4 The 4th, 9th or 14th day of the lunar fortnight is technically so called.
5 “Four days in Āṣādha (the tenth to the thirteenth of the dark half of
the month) when the earth is supposed to be unclean”. Skt.-Eng. Dictionary
by M. Wms.

KṚṢI-PARĀŚARA 81
177. One, being pure and with a concentrated mind, should
personally sow three handfuls of seeds moistened with cold water
after meditating upon Indra.
178-180. The cultivator, with a delighted heart, having observed
puṇyāha¹ for paddy, should face eastward, and holding a pitcher, read
this valuable incantation : —Obeisance be to thee, O auspicious Earth,
the divine queen and giver of many crops, let all crops sprout up, may
God pour forth seasonal rain; may farmers be healthy with riches,
paddy and opulence.
181. Farmers being treated to delicious dishes with ghee and
pāyasa² in the field after the sowing is done, agriculture becomes free
from impediments.
Now the application of the mayikā³
182. Having sown the seeds, cause the mayikā to be applied
there. In the absence of that, there is no even growth of the seeds.
Now the procedure of transplantation
183. Seeds are of two kinds, (for) sowing and (for) transplanta-
tion. (That for) sowing is free from disease, (that for) transplantation
is always attended with maladies.
184. Do not gather seedlings (for transplantation) from full
grown paddy plants. All seedlings, grown hard in fields, do not
yield fruit.
185. The transplantation (of seedlings of all crops) (should be)
one cubit apart (from one another) in Cancer (i.e. Śrāvaṇa), half a
cubit in Leo (i.e. Bhādra) and four fingers apart in Virgo (i.e. Āśvina).
1 Lit. auspicious day. It came to denote a festival, performed on an
auspicious day, for the success of an undertaking.
2 Also called paramānna, prepared by boiling together milk, rice and a
sweet substance like sugar, etc.
3 For meaning, see Glossary.

82 KṚṢI-PARĀŚARA
Now the procedure of the kaṭṭana¹ of paddy
186. A wise man should perform the kaṭṭana of paddy in the
month of Āṣāḍha (and) Śrāvaṇa. The paddy, of which kaṭṭana has
not been done, remains like the seeds.²
187. One, mindful of agriculture, should perform kaṭṭana of
paddy in Śrāvaṇa when there is no rainfall. Kaṭṭana being in Bhādra
there is the acquisition of half the harvest, and there is no hope for
fruits (if it is done) in Āśvina.
188. One should not do kaṭṭana and transplantation of paddy in
a low land nor put manure, but should merely weed out the grass.
Now the removal of weeds from paddy³
189. Paddy, though grown but not rendered free from grass,
does not bear sufficient fruit ; agriculture suffers loss due to weeds.
190. The paddy, from which weeds are removed between
Cancer (i.e. Śrāvaṇa) and Bhādra, becomes twofold even though it be
full of grass.
191. Weeding out of paddy being done twice in Āśvina, it
yields produce like māṣa⁴ without ripening.
192. Therefore, with all care, render agricultural produce free
from weeds ; the agricultural produce, from which weeds are removed,
becomes wish-yielding to cultivators.
Now the release of water in Bhādra
193. For freedom of paddy from disease, drain off water in
Bhādra ; preserve water then up to the roots only.
194. Paddy (fields), filled with water in Bhādra, is damaged by
various maladies and does not yield the best produce to cultivators.
Now the incantation for the cure of the diseases of paddy
(Let there be) success, salutation to the preceptor, (let there be)
welfare. The paramount king, Lord Rāma, the venerable and
¹ This is probably a Deśī word, and means thinning out.
² This, perhaps, means that there is an indifferent and poor growth of
paddy in the absence of kaṭṭana.
³ nistṛṇīkaraṇam—c.f. the modern Bengali word 'niḍi' or 'niḍāna'.
⁴ A kind of pulse or cereal.

KṚṢI-PARĀŚARA
83
victorious one, from his shrine like the Nandana-vana¹ on the slope
of the hill, as white as conch, Kunda flower and moon, commands
Hanūmat, the son of Wind, speedy like wind, the destroyer of hosts
of enemies, remaining on the seashore, with sharp nails and uplifted
tail, among many hundred thousands of monkeys, as follows, and
directs the welfare of others—
If in the field, belonging to such and such person of such and
such gotra, the destroyers of crops like insects, pests, such as Rātā
etc.,² beasts like goat, bear, both domesticated and wild, deer, buffalo,
and birds like sparrow and parrot, etc. do not leave, then disperse
them with your adamantine tail—Om, ām, ghām, ghīm, ghum,
ghuḥ.³
195. Get this mantra, written with lac-dye, tied in the midst of
the crops ; there will never be any fear from disease (of paddy),
insects and malicious animals.
Now the preservation of water
196. What hope of crops can there be to the fool by whom
water is not preserved for paddy in Āśvina and Kārtika.
197. At the advent of autumn, one should preserve water just
as one, desirous of (preserving) the family, protects the ladies of the
house.
198. Then the cultivator, being pure, should plant a nala,⁴
along with leaves, on the north-east corner of the field on the Kārtika-
saṃkrānti day.
199. Then, having worshipped the Nala with very attractive
sandal, garlands and incense, worship the paddy plants there.
200. Then carefully give an offering of curd, rice, particularly
pāyasa as also the kernel of the stones of palms.⁵
1 Divine grove.
2 All the names are not intelligible, and, therefore, not mentioned here
(see text).
3 These are mystic syllables used in Tantras.
4 A kind of reed.
5 tālāsthi-śasya—cf. Bengali tālsāṅs.

84 KṚṢI-PARĀŚARA
The incantation for that (is as follows :—)
201-203. Let all the paddy plants, tender, young, old and
others, the largest and the smallest, the diseased and the healthy,
being touched by the Nala, be of uniform growth at the command
of Suṣeṇa, Rāma and also of Pṛthu, (and), having uniform growth,
let (them) yield abundant produce; let the cultivator be healthy and
endowed with wealth and paddy.
204. Having implanted the Nala in the field with this incanta-
tion in due order, farmers rejoice at the acquisition of a great increase
of paddy.
205. All classes of paddy of those, who do not implant Nala
in the field in Dhaṭa-saṃkrānti,¹ become uneven and fruitless.
Now the taking of a handful (of paddy) in Agrahāyaṇa
206. Then, at the advent of Agrahāyaṇa, one, being pure,
should, on an auspicious day, shear off two and a half handfuls of
paddy in the field.
207. One should shear off (paddy) in the north-eastern corner
(of the field) after having duly worshipped the paddy plants with
sandal-paste, flowers, incense and offerings.
208. Then carrying that (bundle) on the head, with the stalks
turned forward, one should make for one's home silently without
touching anybody anywhere.
209. Then, entering the main room and walking seven steps,
one should place it, well-worshipped, to the east.
210. Never should one take a a handful in Kārtika and Pauṣa.
The taking of a handful in Agrahāyaṇa is the best and conducive to
wealth and paddy.
211. He, who harvests (paddy) without cutting off two handfuls
and a half in Agrahāyaṇa, meets with failure at every step; whence
shall there be paddy in his house?
1 The last day of Āśvina, when the sun passes on to the Zodiac Dhaṭa
(=Tulā) or Libra; in other words, the advent of the month of Kartika.

KṚṢI-PARĀŚARA 85
212. (They, i. e. the wise) commend the harvesting of paddy
in (the Nakṣatras) Ārdrā, Maghā, Kṛttikā, Citrā,¹ Puṣyā, Hastā, Svāti,
Uttara-phalgunī, Uttara - āṣāḍhā, Uttara - bhādrapada, Mūlā and
Śravaṇā.
213. Avoid taking handfuls in (the yogas) Vyatipāta, Viṣṭi,
Riktā and Vaidhṛti, and also on Tuesday, Saturday and Wednesday.
Now the planting of medhi² in Agrahāyaṇa
214. After digging out an even pit in Agrahāyaṇa, besmeared
with cowdung, the Medhi is to be carefully planted there on an aus-
picious day.
215. The medhi is to be made by farmers to bear a feminine
name, when the sun is in Scorpio; the farmer obtains increase of
crops through the efficacy of medhi.
216. (The medhi is to be made of) Nyagrodha (Ficus indica),
Saptaparṇa³ (Alstonia scholaris), Gāmbhārī (Gmelina arborea), Śālmalī⁴
(Śālmalia malabarica), particularly Udumbara⁵ (Ficus glomerata), or
(of) any other milk-exuding tree.
217-218. In the absence of Vaṭa (Banyan tree), etc. (a tree),
bearing a female name, should be used. The medhi, beflagged and
protected with (leaves of) Neem (Melia indica) and mustard,⁶ fitted
with stalks of paddy, grass and Karkaṭaka⁷, and worshipped with
sandalpaste and flowers, is conducive to the happiness produced by
crops.
219. The medhi should not be planted in Pauṣa, on an inauspi-
cious day and also in (the Nakṣatra) Śravaṇā. (While) in Agrahāyaṇa,
1 Or, any one of the following :—
Mṛga-śiras, Anurādhā and Revatī.
2 "A pillar, post (esp a pillar in the middle of a threshing floor to which
oxen are bound." (M. Wms.).
3 Bengali—Chātim.
4 Bengali—Simul.
5 Bengali—ḍumur.
6 Neem and mustard are even now supposed, in some parts of our country,
to ward off evil spirits and infection from any source.
7 A kind of plant.
12

86 KṚṢI-PARĀŚARA
it is conducive to the increase of crops, in Pauṣa it causes loss of
crops.
220. By men, desiring their own welfare, should never be made
a medhi of Kapittha¹ (Feronia elephantum), Bilva (Aegle marme-
los), bamboo (Bambusa tulda), and Tṛṇarāja.²
Now the description of (the ceremony called)
Puṣyayātrā in Pauṣa
221. Then people should together perform Puṣyayātrā near the
field, on an auspicious day in Pauṣa when the paddy is not (yet)
harvested.
222-224. Feed all men in due order starting with the old, with
pāyasa³ after nicely presenting it on banana-leaves with curries, fish,
meat, vegetarian dishes and also with palatable courses (prepared) with
Asafoetida (hiṅgu) and pepper along with curd, milk, ghee, (other
preparations of milk), beverages, various fruits, roots and plenty of
sweetmeats and cakes.
225. Then having rinsed off (hands and faces) there, besmear
one another with sandal-paste, catuḥsama⁴ and perfumed oil.
226. Then, having put on new cloths, (they should) feed one
another with nice fragrant betel-leaves perfumed with camphor.
227. Being adorned with flowers, and saluted Lord of Śacī,
perform great merriments there with music, both vocal and instru-
mental, and dance.
228-232. Then all, being delighted, should look at the sun, and
with folded hands, read the incantation consisting of the four verses : —
(i) In the field, with paddy not yet harvested, due to the
infulence of Puṣya-yātrā, may she,⁵ the bestower of wel-
fare and looked upon by us all with regard, protect us !
1 Modern Bengali 'Kayed bel'.
2 May mean cocoanut-tree, a kind of bamboo or sugarcane. (vide Skt-
Eng. Dict., op. cit.)
The last one cannot obviously be intended here.
3 A preparation of milk, rice and sugar.
4 "An unguent of 4 ingredients—sandal, agallochum, saffron and musk."
(M. Wms.).
5 Lakṣmī (?).

KṚṢI-PARĀSARA 87
(ii) May all, who are antagonistic to us by deed, in mind and
speech, be pacified by the influence of Puṣya-yātrā!
(iii)-(iv) Increase of paddy and fame, the well-being of wife
and son, enhancement of the honour of king, as also the
increase of cattle, the welfare of counsel (given to kings?)
and government, augmentation of wealth—may we have
these constantly till a year is completed!
233. Then all, delighted, should go to their own houses; those
people should not again have any meal on that day.
234. By Parāśara was ordained, in ancient times, for the welfare
of all people, this fascinating Puṣya-yātrā, the means of fulfilment of
all objects.
235. Therefore, this Puṣya-yātrā should be carefully performed,
according to rules, for the removal of all obstacles and the increase of
crops.
236. There is no removal of obstacles to those people who, proud
of riches, do not perform Puṣya-yātrā; whence is happiness (to them)
in that year?
237. Therefore, a wise man should harvest paddy in the month
of Pauṣa, get the corns thrashed properly and weighed with an
āḍhaka.
Now the description of Āḍhaka
238. _Āḍhaka_¹ is declared to be twelve fingers in size; the weigh-
ing (should be done) from left to right and never on the right (side).
239. The weighing of paddy from right (to left) is a source of
depletion, and from left (to right) is highly conducive to happiness
and increase of paddy.
240 Made of the wood Śleṣmāntaka (Cordia mixta), Mango
(Mangifera indica) and Punnāga (Calophyllum inophyllum) the
āḍhaka is the best; made of the wood of Kapittha. (Feronia elephan-
tum), Parkaṭi (Ficus infectoria) and Neem (Melia indica), it increases
poverty.
¹ A measuring vessel for grains. For another meaning of the word, see
v 11 supra.

88 KṚṢI-PARĀŚARA
Now the storing of paddy
241-242. The storing of paddy is the best in the auspicious
Nakṣatras: Hastā, Śravaṇā, Dhaniṣṭhā, Śatabhiṣā, Puṣyā, Revatī, Rohiṇī,
Bharaṇī, Mūlā, Uttara-phalgunī, Uttarāṣāḍhā, Uttara-bhādrapada,
Maghā and Punarvasu, on Thursday, Monday and Friday avoiding
Saturday and at the auspicious moment of the sun's contact with
Pisces.
“O Goddess, assuming forms at will, augmenting all desired
objects, bearing (the burden) of new bulls, bestow riches on me, the
giver of wealth and the benefactor of all people”.
243. Having personally written the (above) incantation, one
should keep it in the granaries (thus) ensuring great prosperity. Then
one ought to worship the Goddess of wealth very well.
Here ends the book, entitled Kṛṣi-parāśara, composed by sage
Parāśara.

Wait, look at रक्षाञ्जपतनिक्षितं:
Is it रक्षाञ्जपतनिक्षितं or रक्षाञ्जपतं निक्षितं?
Wait, रक्षाञ्जप -> र, क्षा, ञ्ज (ञ + ज = ञ्ज), प, त, नि, क्षि, तं.
Wait, look at निक्षितं: is there a 'प'?
Look below क्षि: there is nothing, just तं. So निक्षितं.
