"चन्द्रो यदि रोहिण्या दूरग स्समीपगो वा दक्षिणमार्गे स्थितः स्पृशति वा
तदा जगतः कष्टमेव। उत्तरतः स्थित श्चेत् तदा सुवृष्टि र्बहव उपसर्गा श्च।
अस्पृशन् याति चेत् तदा वृष्टि श्शुभं च भवति।
यदि चन्द्रो रोहिणीशकट मध्यं गच्छति तदा प्रजानां मह द्दुर्भिक्षम्।
चन्द्रस्योदया त्परं यदि रोहिणी पृष्ठतो याति तदा शुभम्। तदा स्त्रियः
कामातुराः पुंसोऽनुगच्छन्ति।यदा रोहिण्या अनन्तरं चन्द्र उदेति तदा
पुमांसः कामातुराः स्त्री रनुगच्छन्ति। यदि चन्द्रो रोहिण्या आग्नेय्यां
दिशि भवति तदा
महा नुपसर्गः।(उत्पातः) नैरृत्यां चेत् सस्यानां ईतिकृता हानिः।
वायव्यदिशि स्थित श्चेत् सस्यं मध्यमं भवति। ईशान्यदिशि स्थित श्चेत्
सस्यार्घ्यवृष्ट्यादयो बहवो भवन्ति।चन्द्रो यदि योगतारकां
ताडयति तदा महद्भयं भवति। छादयति चेत् स्त्रीकृतो राजवधः। पुरं प्रविशतां
गवा मग्रे यदि कृष्ण
पशुः पुरः प्रविशति तदा जलसमृद्धिः। शबलपशु श्चेत् मध्यमं भवति। शुक्ले

रोहिणीयुत श्चन्द्रो मेघावृतो भवति तदा लोकानां महद्भयम्। भूमि र्बहुजन

(shakuna) but not exactly about weather. Such informatiion exists in
texts like Brihat samhita, Adbhuta Sagara, Meghamala, KRishi
Parashara. But omens can not be used by common people. Moon comes near
Rohini once in about 27-28 nights. As far as weather /rainfall is
concerned it is mostly the position of Sun that matters. This was of
course very well known from the VEdic period (aadityaad jaayate
vrishtih. This is the motto of the Inda Met. Dept.also). Rigveda
states the rainfall cycle! Our ancients had uncanny ability to observe
nature and draw scientific inferences. But ubfortunately the modern
panchangas have messed up the rain inducing nakshatras. What was
fairly correct for the period of Varaha Mihira has been wrongly
interpreted. I am referring to the well known mistake of showing the
UttarayaNa (winter solstice, shortest day in the year) on 14th January
instead of 21 December. Observing the Pitr. tarpaNa on the wrong day
may not matter very much since many prayaschittas are done to wash off
the pratyavaaya dosha! But indicating rainfall at wrong times is
costly to the farmers and the economy. I know I am very critical.

Read your articles on rainfall variations as recorded in ancient
Sanskrit texts. The topic is of my special interest. That the rain
prediction theory based on the master planet of the year described in
Krishiparashara implies seven year cycle of variations in Monsoon
rainfall prediction is a valuable enlightenment.Many thanks,
congratulations and best wishes.
