Adh. III. Sl. 34-36] तृतीयोऽध्यायः 31 Sloka 33.—During Sunrise (or Sunset) when a meteor, lightning or a thunderbolt strikes the Sun, it indicates the death of the ruling king and the installation of a foreigner on the throne. तथा च पराशरः उदयास्तमये भानुमुल्का हन्यात्समुत्थिता । प्रज्वलन्ति तदा राजा क्षिप्रं शस्त्रेण वध्यते ॥ प्रतिदिवसमहिमकिरणः परिवेषी सन्ध्ययोर्द्वयोरथवा । रक्तोऽस्तमेति रक्तोदितश्च भूपं करोत्यन्यम् ॥३४॥ Sloka 34.—If the Sun should be encircled by Pari- vesha every day or during the two twilights or be red in colour during the times of setting and rising, it indicates a change in the sovereign. प्रहरणसदृशैर्जलदैः स्थगितः सन्ध्याद्वयेऽपि रणकारी । मृगमहिषविहगखरकरभसदृशरूपैश्च भयदायी ॥३५॥ Sloka 35.—If during Sunrise or Sunset the Sun be concealed by clouds in the form of weapons, it indicates that fighting is imminent. If the clouds in question take the form of a deer, a buffalo, a bird, an ass, a camel and the like, there will be fear infused among the people. दिनकरकराभितापादक्षमवाप्नोति सुमहतीं पीडाम् । भवति तु पश्चाच्छुद्धं कनकमिव हुताशपरितापात् ॥३६॥ Sloka 36.—When an asterism on account of its con- junction with the Sun is subjected to a good deal of torture by the Sun's rays, it emerges out all the more pure and clean as gold after its purification through fire. तथा च पराशरः ग्रहोपसृष्टं नक्षत्रं सवितुर्योगामागतम् । विशोधयति तत्पापं तुषाग्निरिव काञ्चनम् ॥
