There will be continuous rain for as many days of the Moon’s course from Pūrvāṣāḍha onwards (in the rainy season) as the number of asterisms, through which, when the Moon passes, a shower of rain occurs just marking the Barth, from the same asterism of Pūrvāṣāḍha in the lunar month of Jyeṣṭha, or there will be rain for as many days as the number of rain drops sticking to the edge of the blades of grass. The quantity of subsequent rainfall can also be ascertained from such rain.
