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

Adh. XXVI. Sl. 13-15.] षड्विंशोऽध्यायः 243 Sloka 12.—When the results of the Moon's con- junctions with Rohini, Swati and Ashada are the same, the prediction—good or bad—is to be made unhesita- tingly. If they be different, the effects of Rohini alone will prevail. निष्पत्तिरग्निकोपो वृष्टिर्मन्दाथ मध्यमा श्रेष्ठा । बहुजलपवना पुष्टा शुभा च पूर्वादिभिः पवनैः ॥१३॥ Sloka 13.—According as the wind blows from the east, south-east, south, etc., during the Moon's conjunc- tion with Ashadha, the consequences are in their order as follows : good harvest, raging of fire, little, middling, very good rain, copious rain accompanied by winds, abundant and beneficial rain. वृत्तायामाषाढ्यां कृष्णचतुर्थ्यामजैकपादर्थे । यदि वर्षति पर्जन्यः प्रावृट् शस्ता न चेन्न ततः ॥१४॥ Sloka 14—If, after the full Moon in the month of Ashadha, the rain God pours down rain on the 4th day of the dark half at the asterism of Purvashadha, the rainy season will prove beneficial ; otherwise, not. आषाढ्यां पौर्णमास्यां तु यद्यैशानोऽनिलो भवेत् । अस्तं गच्छति तीक्ष्णांशौ सस्यसंपत्तिरुत्तमा ॥१५॥ Sloka 15.—If there is a north-easterly wind on the full-moon day of Ashadha at sunset, there will be an excellent growth of crops. Thus ends the 26th Adhyaya on " the Moon's Conjunction with Ashadha."
