If a comet should be seen to pass through or be in contact with the constellation of Ursa Major (the Saptaṛṣis ), the Abhijit , the Pole-star and the constellation of Jyeṣṭhā, the clouds would be destroyed; there would be good deeds in the land and men would suffer from grief. If the comet should appear in contact with Āśleṣā , there would be drought in the land; and the people with hungry children would quit their countries and travelling to foreign lands, would perish there. This is certain.
