The गीति-Giti and उपगीति- Upagiti varieties of the Arya follow respectively the first half and second half of the ordinary Arya in both the halves. Cf. बृ. जा. XXII-6. आदौ यादृक् सौम्यः पश्चादपि तादृशो भवति । उपगीतेर्मात्राणां गणवत् सत्सम्प्रयोगो वा ॥५०॥ Sloka 50.—Mercury causes the same effects at the end of a Rasi as in its beginning (that is, the same effects throughout the sign), just as the number of groups of Matras is the same in both the halves of the Upagiti, or as friendship with the virtuous. Cf. बृ. जा. - शशितनयः फलदस्तु सर्वकालम् । आर्याणामपि कुरुते विनाशमन्तर्गुरुर्विषमसंस्थः । गण इव षष्ठे दृष्टः स सर्वलघुतां जनं नयति ॥५१॥ Sloka 51.—Jupiter passing through the middle of odd houses produces disasters even to the righteous, and when through the 6th house, reduces the person to abject slavery or degradation, just as all varieties of the आर्या are spoiled by the presence of the जगण in the odd places, but it should be found in the 6th group, or it should consist of four short syllables, Here the author gives the rule about the use of जगण in Arya metre. This has been already given in our notes on the 2nd Sloka of this Chapter. अशुभनिरीक्षितः शुभफलो बलिना बलवा- नशुभफलप्रदश्च शुभदृग्विषयोपगतः । अशुभशुभावपि स्वफलयोर्व्रजतः समता- मिदमपि गीतकं च खलु नर्कुटकं च यथा ॥५२॥

Adh. CIV. Sl. 53-55.] चतुराधिकशततमोऽध्यायः 787 Sloka 52.—When a strong benefic is aspected by a strong malefic, or when a strong malefic is aspected by a strong benefic, his benefic or malefic effects will be neutral- ised, just as the (Prakrit) Geetaka and (Sanskrit) Narku- taka are equal in all respects. The metre is नर्कुटक—नजभजजा लगौ च यदि नर्कुटकं तु तदा— नीचेऽरिभेऽस्ते चारिदृष्टस्य सर्वं वृथा यत् परिकीर्तितम् । पुरतोऽन्धस्येव कामिन्याः सविलासकटाक्षनिरीक्षणम् ॥५३॥ Sloka 53.—All the good effects enumerated above will be nullified, when the planet under consideration is in depression, in an inimical house, is eclipsed, or is aspected by an enemy, just as the amorous side-long glances of a loving damsel are futile on a blind man. The metre is विलास- तो मो यगौ यस्याद्यपादे स्यात्तौ जगौ तथा यत्र च दृश्यते । तदनु स्तौ मश्चतुर्थे स्यात् ससखा लघु विलासमुदाहृतम् ॥ This is a विषमवृत्त- all the four feet are dissimilar. सूर्यसुतोऽर्कफलसमश्चन्द्रसुतश्छन्दतः समनुयाति यथा । स्कन्धकमार्यागीतिर्वैतालीयं च मागधीगाथाऽऽर्याम् ॥५४॥ Sloka 54.—Saturn gives the same effects as the Sun does in his transit, while Mercury resembles in effect the planet he conjoins with, just as the (Prakrit) Skandhaka, follows (Sanskrit) Geeti, Magadhi Vaitaliya and Gatha, Arya in metrical feet. सौरोऽर्करश्मियोगात् सविकारो लब्धवृद्धिराधिकतरम् । पित्तवदाचरति नृणां पथ्यकृतां न तु तथाऽऽर्याणाम् ॥५५॥ Sloka 55.—When Saturn is eclipsed by the Sun's rays, his power to do harm to human beings increases greatly, except in the case of those noble persons who act

788 बृहत्संहितायाम् [Adh. CIV. Sl. 56-59. righteously, just as bile being greatly vitiated (made powerful) by men basking in the Sun, tortures them, leaving out those careful men who have a regulated diet. This is in पथ्या metre, a kind of आर्या. छे लात् पदं द्वितीयात् प्रथमात् परकेऽथ विषमयुजि चरमे । षष्ठो लोऽग्रेऽन्त्ये त्रिषु पादो भवति भवति तु पथ्या ॥ यादृशेन ग्रहेणेन्दुर्युक्तस्तादृग्भवेत्सोऽपि । मनोवृत्तिसमायोगाद्विकार इव वक्त्रस्य ॥५६॥ Sloka 56.—The nature of the Moon varies according to the planet she conjoins with, just as the facial ex- pression does according to the mental frame. The Moon is the mind of कालपुरुष. The metre is वक्त्र- . रौ यदा गौ तु वक्त्रं स्यात् नौ गावन्यत्र दृश्येते । तृतीय चरणे य्सौ गौ जसौ गुरुरथो गः स्यात् ॥ पञ्चमं लघु सर्व्वेषु सप्तमं द्विचतुर्थयोः । यद्वच्छ्लोकाक्षरं तद्वल्लघुतां याति दुःस्थितैः ॥५७॥ Sloka 57.—When planets are ill-placed, a man is belittled, just as the 5th syllable in all the quarters and the 7th in the 2nd and 4th are short in the श्लोक metre. प्रकृत्यापि लघुर्यश्च वृत्तबाह्ये व्यवस्थितः । स याति गुरुतां लोके यदा स्युः सुस्थिता ग्रहाः ॥५८॥ Sloka 58.—A person, though low-born and of reprehensible conduct, becomes respectable in the world, when the planets are well-placed in transit, just as a short syllable occurring at the end of a foot comes to be treated as long. प्रारब्धमसुस्थितैर्ग्रहैर्यत् कर्मात्मविवृद्धये बुधैः । विनिहन्ति तदेव कर्म तान् वैतालीयमवायथाकृतम् ॥५९॥

Adh. CIV. Sl. 60-61.] चतुरधिकशततमोऽध्यायः 789 Sloka 59.—If the wise begin a work for achieving prosperity when the planets are ill-placed, that itself will destroy them, just as the ceremony for raising a goblin, done improperly, destroys the doer himself. The metre is वैतालीय- This is an अर्धसमवृत्त where the first and third quarters are similar, while the second and fourth are of a different type. In the odd quarters, there are 14 Matras, and in each of the even ones, they are 16 in number. All the four quarters are similar in one respect, viz., they end in र Gana plus a short syllable and a long one. In the odd quarters, there will be 6 Matras remaining outside the Ganas, while in the even ones, there will be 8 Matras. लाः षड् दर्गा नैधना अयुक्पादोऽष्टौ तु तथा समे च लाः । न समोऽत्र परेण युज्यते नैते षट् च निरन्तरा युजो ॥ सौस्थ्यमवेक्ष्य यो ग्रहेभ्यः काले प्रक्रमणं करोति राजा । अणुनापि स पौरुषेण वृत्तस्यौपच्छन्दसिकस्य याति पारम् ॥६०॥ Sloka 60.—A king, though endowed with little pro- wess, starting on an expedition at the proper time, in view of the good positions of the planets, (See XVI-40 supra) achieves greatness that is eulogised in the scriptures. The metre is औपच्छन्दसिक- It is formed by the addition of a long syllable to each of the quarters of the वैतालीय. पर्यन्ते यौ तथैव शेषमौपच्छन्दसिकं सुधीभिरुक्तम्— उपचयभवनोपयातस्य भानोर्दिने कारयेद्धेमताम्राश्वकाष्ठास्थिच- मौर्णिकाद्रिद्रुमत्वग्रखव्यालचौरायुधीयाटवीक्रूरराजोपसेवाभिषेकौषध क्षौमपण्यादिगोपालकान्तारवैद्याश्मकूटावदाताभिविख्यातशूराहवश्ला- घ्ययाज्यग्निकर्माणि सिध्यन्ति लग्नस्थिते वा रवौ । Dandaka 61.—a.

When Mercury is in the Lagna or presides over the day, all work undertaken in connec- tion with the following things will be crowned with suc- cess :—Green articles, gems, lands, perfumes, garments, things that are both harsh and mild, drama, Sastra, science, poetry, all fine arts, preparation of compounds, mixtures, etc., achieving a Mantra, alchemy, arguments, skill, meri- torious deeds, observance of vows, messenger, tonics (that prolong life), feigned talk, lies, bath, things done in a short, moderate and long interval (or short, medium and long articles ?) as are the foot-prints on the earth during a heavy rain. These four pieces of Dandaka are based upon the चण्डवृष्टिप्रयात and its longer forms which ordinarily has two न Ganas in the beginning followed by six र Ganas. The number of र Ganas can be increased at will. So, here we have 32 र Ganas. In this con- nection Pingalacharya says that रात and माण्डव्य give a different name to चण्डवृष्टिप्रयात. According to them, this variety is termed सुवर्ण; and the others are चण्डवेग, प्लव, जीमूत, वलाहक, भुजङ्ग and समुद्र. There are thus 7 kinds of Dandaka. There are no special names for

792 बृहत्संहितायाम् [Adh. CIV. Sl. 62-63. Dandakas which have more than 14 र Ganas. The names accord- ing to Pingalacharya are अर्ण, अर्णव, व्याल, जीमूत, लीलाकर, उद्दाम and शंख in addition to the basic Dandaka called चण्डवृष्टिप्रयात. As the Dandaka gradually increases from 7 र Ganas, it is also called प्रचित. सुरगुरुदिवसे कनकं रजतं तुरगाः करिणो वृषभा भिषगौषधयः द्विजपितृसुरकार्यपुरःस्थितघर्मनिवारणचामरभूषणभूपतयः । विबुधभवनधर्मसमाश्रय मङ्गलशास्त्रमनोज्ञबलप्रदसत्यगिरः व्रतहवनधनानि च सिद्धिकराणि तथा रुचिराणि च वर्णकदण्डकवत् ॥ Dandaka 62.-- On the day presided over by Jupiter, all things pertaining to the following may be done with advantage :-Gold, silver, horses, elephants, bulls, physi- cians, medicines, propitiation of Brahmins, the Manes and Gods, leaders (infantry), umbrellas, chowries, orna. ments, kings, temples (or installation of deities and construction of houses), performance of Dharmic acts, auspicious ceremonies, Sastras, attractive things, tonics (or food that gives strength), truthful speech, observance of vows, sacrifices, wealth, beautiful and excellent things, like a stick with good colours.

On the day presided over by Saturn, one ought to do work pertaining to the following things in order to achieve success:--She-buffalo, goat, camel, dark metal (iron); slaves, old persons, low-born persons, birds, thieves, hunters, the immodest, broken pots, elephant-catching and obstructionist-activities. Otherwise, one will not get even a drop of water in the ocean. This whole is in समुद्रदण्डक, which is ननरजरजरजरजरलगु-i. e., five र Ganas having जगण in their middle and ल and गु at the end. विपुलामपि बुद्ध्वा छन्दोविचितिं भवति कार्यमेतावत् । श्रुतिसुखदवृत्तसङ्ग्रहमिमममाह वराहमिहिरोऽतः ॥६४॥ Sloka 64.-Although one knows the extensive rami- fications of the science of Prosody, one cannot do more than this (cannot employ other varieties of metres). Hence Varāhamihira has given this summary or essence of metres that are pleasant to hear. This is in विपुला, a kind of आर्या, which is of 3 kinds-(1) मुखविपुला, (2) जघनविपुला and (3) महाविपुला. (1) When, in the first half (i. e. between the first quarter and the 2nd) a word is broken (2) when such a breaking occurs in the second half; (3) when the break is in both the halves. एकैव भवति पथ्या तिस्रो विपुलाश्रतस्र एवैताः । चपला भेदौस्त्रिभिरपि भिन्ना इति षोडशार्याः स्युः ॥ गीतिचतुष्टयमित्थं प्रत्येकं षोडशप्रकारं स्यात् । साकल्येनार्याणामशीतिरेवं विकल्पाः स्युः ॥ According to the commentator, Varahamihira has simpli- fied the rules of Prosody and made them easily intelligible; besides बृ. सं. 100

that he has made them attractive. 'Here Varahamihtra shows his erudite scholarship in other branches of science as well. In this connection, the reader's attention is drawn to the following examples quoted by हलायुधभट्ट, the commentator of the छन्दःशास्त्र of Pingalacharya, where a remarkable knowledge of कन्यालक्षण is exhibited : अतिदारुणा द्विजिव्हा परस्य रन्ध्रानुचारिणी कुटिला । दूरात्परिहरणीया नारी नागीव मुखचपला ॥ यस्या विलोचने पिङ्गले भ्रुवौ सङ्गते मुखं दीर्घम् । विपुलोन्नताश्च दन्ताः कान्तासौ भवति मुखचपला ॥ विपुलाभिजातवंशोद्भवापि रूपातिरेकरम्यापि । निर्वास्यते गृहाद्वल्लभापि चेद्भवति मुखचपला ॥ यस्यादस्य कनिष्ठा न स्पृशति महीमनामिका वापि । सा सर्वभूतभोग्या भवेदवश्यं जघनचपला ॥ यस्याः पादाङ्गुष्ठं व्यतीत्य याति प्रदेशिनी दीर्घा । विपुले कुले प्रसूतापि सा ध्रुवं जघनचपला स्यात् ॥ मकरध्वजसद्मनि दृश्यते स्फुटं तिलकलाञ्छनं यस्याः । विपुलाम्बयप्रजातापि जायते जघनचपलासौ ॥ This commentator belonged to the 12th century A D. and was a minister of king Lakshmanasena of Bengal.

In this manner, the form of the stellar deity has to be constituted by those who wish for good physical features. It is a well-known rule that in the description of the form of divine beings, we have to begin with their feet, and in the case of human beings, with the head. चैत्रस्य बहुलपक्षे ह्यष्टम्यां मूलसंयुते चन्द्रे । उपवासः कर्तव्यो विष्णुं सम्पूज्य धिष्ण्यं च ॥६॥ Sloka 6.—One ought to worship Lord Vishnu and the नक्षत्रपुरुष and then observe fast on the 8th day of the dark fortnight in the month of Chaitra, when the Moon passes through the asterism of Mula.

796 बृहत्संहितायाम् [Adh. CV. Sl. 7-9 It is much better if it (the day) also happens to be Monday. The above worship itself is called Rupa-Satra (formal sacrifice).
