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

94 बृहत्संहितायाम् [Adh. VIII. Sl. 19 Slokas 17-18.—If Jupiter has the colour of fire, there will be risk from fire; if the colour be yellow, diseases will break out; if it be dark, a battle will be impending; if it be green, there will be danger from thieves; if it be red, there will be trouble from weapons; if it be smoky, there will be drought. If Jupiter be visible in the day, there will be regicide. If his disc appear big and clear at night and he be posited in an auspicious lunar mansion, the whole world will be happy. In Sloka 18, नृपाः is another reading for प्रजाः तथा च पराशरः कदाचिद्यत्र दृश्येत दिवा देवपुरोहितः । राजा वा म्रियते तत्र स देशो वा विनश्यति ॥ रोहिण्योऽनलभं च वत्सरतनुर्नाभिस्त्वषाढाद्वयं सार्पं हृत्पितृदैवतं च कुसुमं शुद्धैः शुभं तैः फलम् । देहे क्रूरनिपीडितेऽग्न्यनिलजं नाभ्यां भयं क्षुत्कृतं पुष्पे मूलफलक्षयोऽथ हृदये सस्यस्य नाशो ध्रुवम् ॥१९॥ Sloka 19.—The asterisms Krittika and Rohini consti- tute the body of the संवत्सरपुरुष-Samvatsarapurusha; the two Ashadhas (Purva and Uttara) form the navel; Aslesha, the heart; and Magha, the flower. When these lunar mansions are devoid of malefics, the effect will be auspicious. If the body be afflicted by malefics through conjunction or aspect, there would be danger from fire and wind. If the navel be afflicted, there will be risk from famine. If the flower be afflicted roots and fruits would be destroyed. When the heart is afflicted, there will be the inevitable destruction of crops. तथा च काश्यपः कृत्तिका रोहिणी चोभे संवत्सरतनुः स्मृता । अषाढाद्वितयं नाभी सार्पं हृत्कुसुमं मघा ॥
