svāmījyajñayutā horā dṛṣṭā vā satpalāvahā | vināśa dṛṣṭayuktā ca pāpāṃtaragatānyathā || 150 ||
হোরা যদি স্বামী-আরাধনা ও যজ্ঞের সঙ্গে যুক্ত দেখা যায়, তবে তা শুভ ফলদায়িনী। কিন্তু যদি বিনাশের লক্ষণের সঙ্গে যুক্ত হয়, তবে বিনাশ ঘটায়; নতুবা তা অন্য এক পাপাবস্থায় প্রবেশের ইঙ্গিত দেয়।

FAQs
It teaches discernment: time-signs (horā) are not neutral—when aligned with īśvara-pūjā and yajña they mature as auspicious karma-phala, but when marked by vināśa they warn of harmful outcomes and deeper entanglement in pāpa.
Bhakti is implied through “svāmījya” (worship of the Lord): when actions are performed in devotion and sanctified by yajña, the same life-circumstances become sat-phala-producing rather than destructive.
Jyotiṣa (Vedāṅga astrology): it highlights horā-based evaluation—judging whether a time-indication is auspicious (connected with worship/ritual) or inauspicious (connected with vināśa), and interpreting consequences in terms of karma and pāpa.
