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

Adh. XCVI. Sl. 9-11.] षण्णवतितमोऽध्यायः 727 Sloka 8.—Or, when the creature cries with its face hung down, standing in a corner and in a Navamsa of Venus happening to be rising or occupied by the Moon, and being 'blasted' (in place or sound), the person will get a woman of the type assigned to the particular corner. योऽन्योऽनुयायाद्दिशि सम्प्रदिष्टः is another reading. The meaning will be "he will meet some-body that is assigned to that quarter and who happens to go along the same path." पुंराशिलग्ने विषमे तिथौ च दिक्स्थः प्रदीप्तः शकुनो नराख्यः । वाच्यं तदा सङ्ग्रहणं नराणां मिश्रे भवेत् षण्ढकसम्प्रयोगः ॥९॥ Sloka 9.—An omen that is 'Blasted' and posited in a male Ascendant, in an odd Tithi and in a cardinal quarter is termed 'Masculine'. In this case one will come in contact with men ; if it is mixed, i. e. in a male sign and in an even Tithi, he will meet eunuchs. एवं रवेः क्षेत्रनवांश्लग्ने लग्ने स्थिते वा स्वयमेव सूर्ये । दीप्तोऽभिधत्ते शकुनो विरौति पुंसः प्रधानस्य हि कारणं तत् ॥१०॥ Sloka 10.—If an omen that is 'Blasted' cries, when the Ascendant or its Navamsa is owned by Sun or when the Sun himself is in the Ascendant, the arrival of an eminent personage is indicated. प्रारभ्यमाणेषु च सर्वकार्येष्वर्कान्विताद्भाद्गणयेद्विलग्नम् । सम्पद्विपच्चेति यथाक्रमेण सम्पद्विपच्चेति तथैव वाच्या ॥११॥ Sloka 11:—At the commencement of any work, count the distance in signs from the one occupied by the Sun to the Lagna in the manner of 'Weal' and 'Woe' in order. Accordingly, wealth or misery will have to be predicted.
