Graha–Ketu–Utpāta Lakṣaṇas: Solar/Lunar Omens, Comets, Eclipses, and Calendar Rules
अवृष्टिदश्चरन्भौमो दक्षिणे रोहिणीस्थितः । भूमिजः सर्वधिष्ण्यानामुदगामी शुभप्रदः ॥ ३७ ॥
avṛṣṭidaścaranbhaumo dakṣiṇe rohiṇīsthitaḥ | bhūmijaḥ sarvadhiṣṇyānāmudagāmī śubhapradaḥ || 37 ||
Kapag si Mars (Bhūma/Bhauma) ay gumagalaw sa di‑pangkaraniwang landas—nasa Rohiṇī ngunit nasa panig ng timog—ito’y palatandaan ng tagtuyot. Ngunit kapag ang planetang isinilang sa Daigdig ay umuusad pahilaga sa lahat ng kaniyang himpilan, nagkakaloob siya ng mapalad na bunga.

It frames cosmic order as meaningful: planetary motion is read as a dharmic sign-system, guiding humans to act responsibly (e.g., prepare, perform appropriate rites) when nature indicates scarcity or wellbeing.
Indirectly: by recognizing auspicious and adverse times through Jyotiṣa, devotees can align vows, worship, and charitable acts with dharma—treating cosmic events as prompts to intensify reliance on the divine rather than mere superstition.
Jyotiṣa Vedāṅga: interpreting Mars’ southward placement in Rohiṇī as a drought-indicator, and its northward progression as auspicious—used for forecasting and for choosing suitable timings for rites and public planning.
