when that triad is afflicted, the western direction is afflicted. // Vaiśva (Uttarāṣāḍhā), Vaiṣṇava (Śravaṇa), and Vāsava (Dhaniṣṭhā) are assigned to the north-western direction; / [Śatabhiṣaj, Pūrvabhādrapadā, Uttarabhādrapadā to the north, and Revatī, Aśvinī, Bharaṇī to the north-east]; when that triad is afflicted, the north-eastern direction is afflicted. // But Kāśyapa says: On earth, in this Bhāratavarṣa, arranged in nine divisions, / the lunar mansions, beginning with Bahulā (Kṛttikā) in sets of three, reside in the central region and the rest. // When struck by malefic planets, their inhabitants are afflicted; / they will suffer affliction when [the stars are] pierced and crushed by malefics. // In the Viṣṇudharmottara: How does an afflicted lunar mansion bring about affliction to its own region? / Explain all this to me, O best of all upholders of righteousness! // Mārkaṇḍeya said: Saturn and the Sun [afflict] by their transit; the planet Mars by retrograde motion; / Rāhu by eclipse; and Ketu by smoky appearances and risings; // Jupiter, Venus, and Mercury by their helical rising and setting; / the Moon by occultation and improper conjunction. // Likewise, in whichever lunar mansion celestial, terrestrial, and atmospheric / great portents are seen, it afflicts its own direction. // Parāśara, however, says: When the lunar mansions of a direction are afflicted, affliction strikes the people of the countries in that direction; especially the rulers of Śūrasena, Magadha, Kaliṅga, Avanti, the Indus realm, Hārabhūti, Madra, and the Pulindas. But in the Varāhasaṃhitā: Through the groups beginning with Āgneya (Kṛttikā) being afflicted by malefic planets, successively, the kings / of Pañcāla, Magadha, and Kaliṅga go to ruin; // then the rulers of Avanti and Ānarta, and the king of Sindhusauvīra meet death; / and the king of the Hārahauros, the lord of Madra, and another, the ruler of the Kālindas. // When a lunar mansion possesses characteristics opposite to those mentioned and is conjoined with benefic planets, etc., it brings prosperity to the countries of that direction; and having thus named the lunar mansions of the countries in the central, eastern, and other directions in the stated order, it is said in the Mārkaṇḍeyapurāṇa: During afflictions of these, these regions which have been mentioned in order are afflicted; / and they attain prosperity, O brāhmaṇa, when the planets are favorably placed. // Now, the countries of the directions. There, Kāśyapa says: Kuśasthala, Yajantī, Upajyotiṣmatī, Puro[ga],
