अवैरं रोगमभयं रोगभीः सस्यवर्षणे । रोगो धान्यं नभोऽदृष्टिमघाद्यृक्षगते गुरौ ॥ ६४ ॥
avairaṃ rogamabhayaṃ rogabhīḥ sasyavarṣaṇe | rogo dhānyaṃ nabho'dṛṣṭimaghādyṛkṣagate gurau || 64 ||
गुरु (बृहस्पती) मघा इत्यादी नक्षत्रांत गेला असता वैर निवते, रोग शमतात आणि भय राहत नाही. पिकांसाठी पाऊस पडतो, धान्य उत्पन्न होते; पण मेघाच्छादनामुळे आकाशदर्शन कमी होते.
