If on the same days there should fall a shower of rain attended by dust-storm, or if children should engage in happy play, or if birds should sing or play in the dust or in water, or if the halos round the Sun and Moon should appear bright and not much disfigured, there will be rain and all crops will thrive. If, on the Dhāraṇa days, the clouds should appear beautiful and collected together with their course from left to right, there will be immediate rain and such rain will be exceedingly useful to the crops.
