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

Adh. XI. Sl. 61-62] एकादशोऽध्यायः 145 lord of the Kekayas; 2. of the Panchanadas; 3. the lord of the Simhala; 4. the lord of the Vangas; 5. the king of the Naimisha country; 6. the Chief of the Kiratas. उल्काभिताडितशिखः शिखी शिवः शिवतरोऽतिवृष्टो यः। अशुभः स एव चोलावगाणसितहूणचीनानाम् ॥६१॥ Sloka 61. A comet whose crest has been hit by an Ulka (meteor) will prove auspicious; and if there be rain as soon as he is risen, it will be still more auspici- ous. The same will become unfavourable to the people of Chola, Afghans, the white Huns and the Chinese. अतिदृष्टः is another reading in the 1st line. नम्रा यतः शिखिशिखाभिसृता यतो वा ऋक्षं च यत् स्पृशति तत्कथितांश्च देशान् । दिव्यप्रभावनिहतान् स यथा गरुत्मान् भुङ्क्ते गतो नरपतिः परभोगिभोगान् ॥६२॥ Sloka 62. Note the quarters where the crests of the comets are bent or crooked, where they are projecting; also the asterisms hit or touched. The rulers of the countries denoted by or situated in these will be defeated through superhuman power by a foreign king who takes possession of all the pleasures enjoyed by them so far, just as Garuda destroys and feasts on the bodies of the serpents which are his enemies. तथा च पराशरः यस्यां दिशि समुत्तिष्ठेत्तां दिशं नाभियोजयेत् । यतः शिखा यतो धूमस्ततो यायान्नराधिपः ॥ प्रतिलोमे यतः केतोर्जयार्थी याति पार्थिवः । सामात्यवाहनबलः स नाशमधिगच्छति ॥ बृ. सं. 19
