नाभ्यां क्षुत्तृड्भयं पुष्ये सम्यङ्मूलफलक्षयः । हृदयेशस्य निधनं शुभं स्यात्संयुतैः शुभैः ॥ ६१ ॥
nābhyāṃ kṣuttṛḍbhayaṃ puṣye samyaṅmūlaphalakṣayaḥ | hṛdayeśasya nidhanaṃ śubhaṃ syātsaṃyutaiḥ śubhaiḥ || 61 ||
Если знамение возникает в области пупка, оно указывает на страх, рождаемый голодом и жаждой; в накшатре Пушья (Puṣya) оно означает должное истощение корней и плодов. Если же знак относится к области сердца, он предвещает смерть хозяина дома; однако при сопутствии благих примет может обернуться к добру.
