Graha–Ketu–Utpāta Lakṣaṇas: Solar/Lunar Omens, Comets, Eclipses, and Calendar Rules
पीतः शीते सिते वृष्टौ ग्रीष्मे लोहितभा रविः । रोगानावृष्टिभयकृत् क्रमादुक्तो मुनीश्वर ॥ १० ॥

Hỡi bậc đại hiền, theo thứ tự đã nói: khi Mặt Trời hiện sắc vàng vào mùa đông, trắng nhợt trong mùa mưa, và đỏ vào mùa hạ, thì khởi lên nỗi sợ—gây bệnh tật và nỗi lo hạn mưa, mưa ít.
Sanatkumara (addressing Narada)
Vrata: none
Primary Rasa: bhayanaka
Secondary Rasa: karuna
It frames cosmic phenomena (the Sun’s altered hue) as dharmic warnings, urging vigilance, remedial rites, and a life aligned with Dharma when signs of disease or drought appear.
While not explicitly teaching Bhakti, it supports a bhakti-informed response to adversity: seeing omens as prompts to increase prayer, purity, and reliance on the Divine order rather than panic.
Jyotiṣa (Vedanga astrology/astronomy): reading seasonal solar coloration as a nimitta (omen) indicating likely outbreaks of illness and risk of anāvṛṣṭi (insufficient rain).
