Adh. LXVIII. Sl. 92-94.] अष्टषष्टितमोऽध्यायः 561 चण्डाधृष्या पद्महेमाग्निवर्णा युक्ता तेजोविक्रमैः सप्रतापैः । आग्नेयीति प्राणिनां स्याज्जयाय क्षिप्रं सिद्धिं वाञ्छितार्थस्य दत्ते ॥ Sloka 92.—The lustre born of the element, Fire, is irascible, irresistible, of the hue of lotus, gold or fire, endowed with brilliance, valour and might, leads to victory of beings and confers immediate accomplishment of the desired object. मलिनपरुषकृष्णा पापगन्धानिलोत्था जनयति वधबन्धव्याध्यनर्थार्थनाशान् । स्फटिकसदृशरूपा भाग्ययुक्तात्युदारा निधिरिव गगनोत्था श्रेयसां स्वच्छवर्णा ॥९३॥ Sloka 93.—The lustre born of the element, air, is dusky, rough, dark, of foul smell, and leads to murders, imprisonment, diseases, disasters and loss of wealth. The lustre born of the element, ether, is of crystal hue, a bestower of fortune, very generous, very clean and a treasure, as it were, of all good things. छायाः क्रमेण कुजलाग्न्यनिलाम्बरोत्थाः केचिद्वदन्ति दश ताश्च यथानुपूर्व्या । सूर्याब्जनाभपुरुहूतयमोडुपानां तुल्यास्तु लक्षणफलैरिति तत्समासः ॥९४॥ Sloka 94.—These are the five kinds of bodily lustre born, in order, of earth, water, fire, air, and ether ; but according to others, there are five more, which are in order, born of the Sun, Vishnu, Indra, Yama and the Moon. Since the latter five are similar to the others in characteristics and effects, the five mentioned above have been given as containing the whole matter. बृ. स. 71
