72 बृहत्संहितायाम् [Adh. V. Sl. 88-90 प्राक्प्रग्रहणं यस्मिन् पश्चादपसर्पणं तु तज्जरणम् । क्षुच्छस्त्रभयोद्विग्ना न शरणमुपयान्ति तत्र जनाः ॥८८॥ Sloka 88.—If in the case of an eclipse the com- mencement was in the east of the orb and the end or liberation be in the west, it is known as जरण. The effect in this case will be that people will suffer from hunger and risk from weapons. People will become anxicus and there will be no kind of relief to them. तथा च काश्यपः । पूर्वेण ग्रसते राहुरपरस्यां विमुञ्चति । क्षुत्तस्करभयं तत्र मोक्षस्तु जरणं स्मृतम् ॥ मध्ये यदि प्रकाशः प्रथमं तन्मध्यविदरगं नाम । अन्तःकोपकं स्यात् सुभिक्षं नातिवृष्टिकर्म् ॥८९॥ Sloka 89.—If the liberation of the eclipse should begin from the middle of the Moon’s orb and there be light first there in consequence, it is called मध्यविदारण Madhya Vidarana : The effect will be disaffection in the king’s army. People will be peaceful and prosperous ; but there will not be much rain. तथा च काश्यपः । यदा प्रकाशो मध्ये स्याद् दुर्भिक्षमरकं तदा । पर्यन्तेषु विमलता बहुलं मध्ये तमोऽन्त्यदरणाख्यः । मध्याख्यदेशनाशः शारदसस्यक्षयश्चास्मिन् ॥९०॥ Sloka 90.—If the entire rim of the Moon’s orb should first begin to clear leaving intense darkness in the middle portion, it is called अन्त्यदरण—Antyadarana. The central country will suffer ruin as also the autumnal crops.
