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

172 बृहत्संहितायाम् [Adh. XV. Sl. 30-32 सौम्यैन्द्रचित्रावसुदैवतानि सेवाजनस्वाम्यमुपागतानि । सार्प विशाखा श्रवणो भरण्यश्चण्डालजातेरभिनिर्दिशन्ति ॥३०॥ Slokas 28-30.—The three asterisms Purvaphalguni, Purvashadha and Purvabhadrapada as well as Krittika belong to the Brahmin class. The three Uttaras along with Pushya belong to the Kshatriya class. Revati, Rohini, Anuradha and Magha belong to the husband- men. Punarvasu, Hasta, Abhijit and Aswini belong to the merchant class. Moola, Ardra, Swati and Satabhi- shak belong to the powerful class of cruel persons. Mrigasiras, Jyeshtha, Chittra and Dhanishtha own the servant class. Aslesha, Visakha, Sravana and Bharani belong to the outcasts. रविरविसुतभोगमागतं क्षितिसुतभेदनवक्रदूषितम् । ग्रहणगतमथोलकया हतं नियतमुषाकरपीडितं च यत् ॥३१॥ तदुपहतमिति प्रचक्षते प्रकृतिविपर्यययातमेव वा । निगदितपरिवर्गदूषणं कथितविपर्ययगं समृद्धये ॥३२॥ Slokas 31-32.—A lunar mansion is said to be hurt when occupied by the Sun or Saturn, when damaged by Mars cutting through or retrograding in it, when merged in an eclipse, when hit by a meteor, when manifestly crushed by the Moon, or in short, when something extra- ordinary happens with it. All this is destructive to the forementioned dependency of the particular asterism, whereas the contrary augurs prosperity. तथा च कश्यपः शनैश्चरस्य सूर्यस्य यदृक्षं भोगमागतम् । धरित्रीतनयेनापि भिन्नं वक्रप्रदूषितम् ॥ राहुग्रस्तमथोल्काभिर्हतमुत्पातदूषितम् ।
