Divine portents are pacified in this manner, if for seven days (from the sighting of the omen) the king arranges for the performance of appropriate ceremonies, ritual and prayers, as well as songs and dances and so forth to please the gods, and gives charity donations to the Brahmins. Thus may the calamitious consequences of the portent be averted and neutralised. (61).

Journeys should not be undertaken in the direction where Vatsa is positioned, nor should gateways facing it be constructed. Idols should not be brought into the temple from that direction, and pregnant women in particular must not enter from that direction. (62).
