Sl. 6-8. ant happening to be a watery sign (Cancer, Capricorn, Pisces), in a watery asterism (Purvashadha, Satabhisha), in a watery Muhurta (having the name of water or pre- sided over by Varuna), in a quarter presided over by Varuna, and in a place where there is water, that occur at the end of the fortnights, that are ' blasted ' (by Gods or by action), and that cry, produce rain. Under the same circumstances, even a ' Tranquil ' omen that is aquatic causes rain. आग्नेयदिग्लग्नमुहूर्त्तदेशेष्वर्कप्रदीप्तोऽग्निभयाय रौति । विष्ट्यां यमक्षोदयकण्टकेषु निष्पत्रवल्लीषु च दोषकृत् स्यात् ॥६॥ Sloka 6.—An omen blasted by the Sun and posited in the S. E. corner in a fiery Ascendant (Aries, Leo, Scorpio, Capricorn or Aquarius), in a fiery Muhurta, in the Krittika asterism, and in a place where fire is kept, causes danger from fire, while crying ; similarly one occurring in Vishti Karana, in a star presided over by Yama (Bharani), in a sign of Saturn happening to be the Ascendant and in thorny trees, and on creepers without leaves, causes harm. ग्राम्यः प्रदीप्तः स्वरचेष्टिताभ्यामुग्रो रुवन् कण्टकिनि स्थितश्च । भौमर्क्षलग्ने यदि नैर्ऋतीं च स्थितोऽभितश्चेत्कलहाय दृष्टः ॥७॥ Sloka 7.—A rural bird or beast that is ' blasted ' by voice or action, that is crying fiercely, that is stand- ing on a thorny tree in S. W., in a Lagna owned by Mars, and facing a person, leads to quarrel when seen. लग्नेऽथवेन्दोर्भृगुभांशसंस्थे विदिक्स्थितोऽधोवदनश्च रौति । दीप्तः स चेत् सङ्ग्रहणं करोति योन्या तया या विदिशि प्रदिष्टा ॥८॥
