Graha–Ketu–Utpāta Lakṣaṇas: Solar/Lunar Omens, Comets, Eclipses, and Calendar Rules
कार्यहानिः कार्यवृद्धिर्हानिर्वृद्धिर्यथाक्रमम् । सुभिक्षकृद्विशालेंदुरविशालोघनाशनः ॥ २५ ॥
kāryahāniḥ kāryavṛddhirhānirvṛddhiryathākramam | subhikṣakṛdviśāleṃduraviśāloghanāśanaḥ || 25 ||
Sa wastong pagkakasunod, nagdudulot ito ng pagkalugi ng mga gawain at ng paglago ng mga gawain; gayundin ng pagbaba at pagtaas. Nagbubunga ito ng kasaganaan ng pagkain; pinalalapad ang anyo ng buwan; ginagawang di-malawak ang malawak; at pinapawi ang makakapal na bunton (gaya ng mabibigat na ulap).

Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: shanta
Secondary Rasa: adbhuta
It presents how outcomes—gain and loss, increase and decline—unfold in an ordered way, reminding the seeker that worldly conditions follow lawful patterns and should be met with discernment rather than attachment.
By showing that external conditions fluctuate (success/failure, abundance/scarcity), it implicitly directs a devotee to anchor faith in the Lord rather than in changing signs, using prosperity or adversity as occasions for steadiness in devotion.
The verse uses predictive, observational language aligned with Jyotiṣa-style thinking—reading increase/decline and natural indicators (moon’s appearance, clouds) to judge timing and likely results of undertakings.
