Devanagari script
आसीनश्च शयानश्व यः पश्यति नरः पितृन् | उन्माद्यति स तु क्षिप्रं स ज्ञेयस्तु पितृग्रह:,जो मनुष्य बैठे-बैठे या सोते समय पितरोंको देखता और शीघ्र पागल हो जाता है, उस बाधा देनेवाले ग्रहको 'पितृग्रह” जानना चाहिये
Transliteration
āsīnaś ca śayānaś ca yaḥ paśyati naraḥ pitṝn | unmādyati sa tu kṣipraṃ sa jñeyas tu pitṛgrahaḥ ||
Translation
Mārkaṇḍeya said: “If a man, whether sitting or lying down, begins to see the departed ancestors, and soon thereafter falls into madness, that afflicting spirit is to be recognized as the ‘Pitṛ-graha’—the seizure associated with the Pitṛs.”
