THE RISTASAMUCCAYA
67 243 Having to live very little in this world, I now describe
severally the days of each constellation as told by
ancient sages. Enough of prolixity. 244 There are ten days in Assini, many in Bharani, seven
in Kattiyā and five in Rohini. 245 There are ten days in Migasira, and many in Addā;
know that there is a fortnight in Punavvasu and
there are ten days in Pussa. 246 Many days are said to be in Asilesā and a month in
Mahā, seven days in Puvvaphagguni and twenty.one
in Uttarā. 247 (If one gets a disease ) in Hattha, (it remains) for
eleven days; in Città, for one day; in Sīi, for seven
days and in Visāhā, for ten days. 248 (Know that if one is attacked with a disease) in
Anurūhū, (it persists) for twenty days; in Jiț[hā, for many days; in Müla, for twenty-four days and
in Puvvūsādhā, for one day. 249 (Know that if one drifts into disease) in Uttarā, (the
disease goes on) for ten days; in Savana, for five days; in Dhanitthā, for a fortnight and in Sayabhisā,
for twenty days. 250 (If one falls a prey to a disease) in Puvva Bhaddo
valdā, (the disease continues) for many days; in Uttară, for twenty days; and twenty-one days are
said to be in Revai. 251 If one acquires a disease in the aforesaid constellations,
it lasts for the aforesaid duration. Where is the
necessity of saying much on this point ? 252 He lives for the stated number of days even if he is in
knowledge of the coming evil and if he fasts unto
death, he lives, then, also for the same duration. 253 This treatise, dealing with all the portentous phenomena,
was composed in an outline, in course of three days, with a standpoint just in keeping with various
scriptures. 254 Victory be to Samyamadeva who has subjugated egoism
and who is a chief of the monks here in this world. And also to Samyamasena who is his Guru as well as to Madhavachandra who is the Guru of the latter.
