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.

The idea is brought out here beautifully through a metaphor. This means that this संहिता contains the quint-essence of the whole science of Astrology-cum-Astronomy. ..पूर्वाचार्यग्रन्था नोत्सृष्टाः कुर्वता मया शास्त्रम् । तानवलोक्येदं च प्रयतध्वं कामतः सुजनाः ॥२॥ Sloka 2.--I have not discarded the works of ancient seers while writing this Sastra or scientific work.
