Graha–Ketu–Utpāta Lakṣaṇas: Solar/Lunar Omens, Comets, Eclipses, and Calendar Rules
अवृष्टिशस्त्रभयदः पीड्यं देवा नृपांतकृत् । पितृद्विदैवधातॄणां भिद्यन्ते गंडतारकाः ॥ ३५ ॥
avṛṣṭiśastrabhayadaḥ pīḍyaṃ devā nṛpāṃtakṛt | pitṛdvidaivadhātṝṇāṃ bhidyante gaṃḍatārakāḥ || 35 ||
جب دیوتا پیڑت ہوتے ہیں تو بے بارانی اور ہتھیاروں کا خوف پیدا کرتے ہیں اور بادشاہوں کے زوال کا سبب بنتے ہیں۔ اور پِتروں کے دشمنوں اور الٰہی احکام کے مخالفوں کے لیے ‘گنڈ تارک’ نامی منحوس نشانیاں پھوٹ پڑتی ہیں۔
Narada (teaching in the Moksha-Dharma discourse, traditionally in dialogue context with Sanatkumara lineage)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhayanaka
Secondary Rasa: raudra
It links collective suffering—drought, violence, and political collapse—to a deeper disturbance of dharma: when divine order and ancestral obligations are opposed or neglected, harmful portents and instability manifest.
By implication, it supports bhakti grounded in dharma: honoring the Devas through righteous living and honoring the Pitṛs through prescribed duties keeps life aligned with daiva; devotion is not merely emotion but sustained by right conduct and reverence.
It reflects Jyotiṣa-style thinking about omens (tārakā/markers) and their interpretation, and also emphasizes smārta pitr-karya (ancestral rites) as a practical dharmic discipline whose neglect is said to correlate with misfortune.
