Shantikamalakara 5.p11

5.p11

Pūrvaphalgunī has two stars; it is female, downward-facing, having Bhaga as deity, fierce, of the human class, of the mouse origin; its tree is the palāśa; its bird is the crow; its letter is "ca". Having eaten boiled śyāmāka grain, one should set out on a journey; there will be victory; one should repay debts. In the month of Āṣāḍha, it is void. On Friday, it is a death combination. One should perform the acquisition of gold, commencement of studies, and roofing of a house. In this month, if a halo or rainbow is seen in that lunar mansion, there will be rain on the tenth day. At the end of twenty nāḍīs is the toxic ghaṭikā. If there is fever, there is suffering for five or seven days. The incense is bilva fruit; the mantra for worship is "aryamaṇaṃ devam...". The substance is priyaṅgu grain with ghee; having offered one hundred and eight oblations with the Sāvitrī mantra, one should give a propitiatory offering to Sūrya with perfume and flowers. Beginning from the sixth day, on the eighth day one becomes healthy. If there is no propitiatory rite, death occurs. At the sun's ingress, the price is middling. || 11
