वरुणे सस्यनिष्पत्तिरतिश्लाघ्या पुरन्दरे । मध्यस्था पवने च स्यान्न स्वल्पाऽपि हुताशने ॥२३॥
Meaning : To a question, whether there will be a harvest or not, when the Varuna Mandal is in operation, it should be said that there will be a crop; if Purandara, then a very good crop; if Pavana, a crop will be there at some places and not at other places, and if Agni, there will be a famine.
महेन्द्रवरुणौ शस्तौ गर्भप्रश्ने सुतप्रदौ।
समीरदहनौ स्रीदो शून्यं गर्भस्य नाशकम् ॥२३॥ Meaning : Mahendra and Varuna Mandals are excellent if they are flowing when a question about a child is put. They indicate the birth of a boy, Vayu and Agni Mandals suggest the birth of a daughter and Sushumna prognosticates the loss of the foetus.
गहे राजकुलादौ च प्रवेशे निर्गमेऽथवा ।
पूर्णाङ्गपादं पुरतः कुर्वतः स्यादभीप्सितम् ॥२४०॥ Meaning : While entering in or coming out from a house or a palace if the right artery is flowing and the right step is put out; and if the left artery is flowing and the left step is put out, the desired object will, indeed, be obtained.
गुरुबन्धुनपामात्या अन्येऽपीप्सितदायिनः । पूर्णाङगे खलु कर्तव्याः कार्यसिद्धिमभीप्सता ॥२४१॥ प्रासने शयने वाऽपि पूर्णाङ्गे विनिवेशिताः । वशीभवन्ति कामिन्यो न कार्मणमतः परम् ॥२४२॥
