⁸⁷² उदगयने रविशीतमयूखौ वक्रसमागमगता परिशेषाः । विपुलकरा युधि चोत्तरसंस्थाश्चेष्टितवीर्ययुताः परिकल्प्याः ॥ बृहज्जातक II 20. This is explained by the following verse of विष्णुचन्द्र ; दिवसकरेणास्तमय समागम शीतरश्मिसहितानाम् । कुसुतादीनां युद्धं निगद्यतेऽन्योन्ययुक्तानाम् ॥ q. by उत्पल on बृ. जा II. 20. Conjunction of planets is of three kinds, when any planet is in conjunction with the sun, that is called *astamaya* (setting), when in conjunction with the moon it is called *samāgama*, when the other planets, Mars &c. are in conjunction with each other that is called *yuddha* (fight of the planets). (In the case of yuddha) that planet which is to the north of the other is called victorious or powerful (except in the case of Venus that is powerful when to the south of the other) गर्गः । छादन रोधन चैव रश्मिमर्दस्तथैव च । अपसव्यं ग्रहाणा च चतुर्धा युद्धमुच्यते ॥ अद्भुतसागर p 207. The अ. सा (p. 208) quotes पराशर as saying that there is no real fight between planets, but a sight of them being together or close indicates to people auspicious or inauspicious happenings The अ सा. is quoted in शान्तिकमलाकर (D. C. ms. No. 306 of 1884-87) folio 81a
