When Rakṣasas put on their appearance, when Brâhmaṇas become void of their duties, when seasons are subverted, the unworthy ones are worshipped when stars fall, know these are the signs of death. When the Sun and Moon are eclipsed, when the halos of the Sun and the Moon appear porous; when Ketu rises and when the stars and planets look pale they forebode ills and great danger Where women are quarrelsome where boys kill boys where prescribed religions are not practised, where fire in course of propitiatory offerings does not shine well, where the marching of ants from the north into fire takes place where jars full of water become empty or where the loss of charrified butter occurs or where there is the absence of propitious formulæ the waning of the voice of the Brâhmaṇas, the dimness of the musical instruments in the temples, the hatred towards the preceptors and friends and the worship of the enemies, the loss of the prestige of the Brâhmaṇas and friends, and honoured persons occur, where atheism prevails as to the auspicious effects of Homa and other sacred ceremonies and the destruction of the country or the death of its sovereign is at hand—3 11
