Shantikamalakara 6.p27

6.p27

In the Madanaratna, Garga says:
“When the moon is situated in the natal [house], seventh, sixth, twelfth, ninth, or tenth [house], Rāhu, when seen, brings calamity; likewise, when it is in the natal lunar mansion or in the [inauspicious asterism called] nidhana.” Rippha means the twelfth. Aṅka means the ninth. Nidhana means the seventh asterism.
In the Pṛthvīcandrodaya, quoting the Viṣṇudharmottara:
“Whatever lunar mansion Rāhu enters to eclipse the moon or sun, affliction will befall those born thereunder who are destitute of a propitiatory rite.”
Likewise in another Purāṇa:
“At the solar transit, or during an eclipse of the moon or sun, whoever has it fall in their threefold natal lunar mansion incurs disease or death. / One should perform for him gifts, fire oblations, worship of deities, and recitation, / as well as a consecratory sprinkling on account of an eclipse; then peace will prevail. / Having made an image of a serpent out of gold or flour, / one should give it to a brāhmaṇa; then no disease or the like caused by it will affect him.” The natal, tenth, and nineteenth asterisms are the ‘threefold natal asterisms’. All [this applies] to Rāhu, whose form is of that shape.
Bhārgava in the Adbhutasāgara:
“In whichever king's asterism Rāhu appears, / there one should predict the destruction of the kingdom, the loss of friends, and death.”
‘Of the kingdom’ means of the asterism of royal consecration, as stated in the Bhārgavārcanadīpikā.
In the Jyotiḥsāgara:
“One should have a golden serpent made weighing one pala, half a pala, or half of that, / or half of that, or half of that, or half of that; in its hood one should place a pearl. / Placing it in a copper vessel, especially one filled with ghee, / or in a bell-metal vessel or a vessel of magnetic iron, one should give it with a dakṣiṇā. / In a lunar eclipse, one should give a silver disc with a dakṣiṇā; / a golden serpent and a golden disc in a solar eclipse; [along with] a horse, chariot, cow, land, sesame seeds, ghee, and gold.”
In the Kālaviveka:
“A golden serpent, a bell-metal vessel filled with sesame seeds, / accompanied by a dakṣiṇā and new garments, one should present to a brāhmaṇa. / Having made a disc of gold or silver according to one's means, / one should dedicate it to a brāhmaṇa to destroy the suffering born of the eclipse.”
