70.10.1
śvetaṃ vā bhavati payo vilohitaṃ vā pītaṃ vā bhavati hi kṛṣṇapiṅgalaṃ vā | utpātaḥ phalati yathā catuḥprakāras tat sarvaṃ śṛṇuta samāsato mayoktam ||
Milk becomes white, or red, / or yellow, or blackish-brown: / as the fourfold portent bears fruit, / hear all that as told by me in brief.
70.10.2
viprāṇāṃ bhavati hi śuklam ambudoṣe rājānaṃ sapadi nihanti lohitaṃ ca | pītaṃ ced bhavati nihanti vaiśyavargaṃ śūdrāṇāṃ bhavati hi kṛṣṇapiṅgadoṣe ||
For if [the liquid] is white in an affliction of water, it belongs to Brahmins; and if red, it strikes the king at once; / if it is yellow, it strikes the Vaiśya caste; and if it has a blackish-yellow affliction, it belongs to the Śūdras.
70.10.3
bījaṃ yatra praroheta phalam atha pramādataḥ | etad atyadbhutaṃ nāma dampatyos tu vināśanam ||
Where a seed or a fruit sprouts heedlessly, / this is called a grave portent, bringing ruin to husband and wife.
70.10.4
apūjanāt tu pūjyasya tathāpūjyasya pūjanāt | antaḥkaraṇadoṣāc ca hetoḥ śāntir na jāyate ||
From not worshiping what is worthy of worship, and likewise from worshiping what is unworthy of worship, / and from a fault of the inner mind as a cause, propitiation does not arise.
70.10.5
tasmād vedārthaśāstrajñān vītarāgān amatsarān | paricārakamukhyāṃś ca kārayet kuśalān dvijān ||
Therefore, one should employ twice-born men who know the meaning of the Veda and the treatises, who are free from passion and free from envy, / and who are skilled as chief attendants.
