Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)
Source: Wisdom Library: Brihat Samhita by VarahamihiraPuraprabheda (啶啶班お啷嵿ぐ啶啶�) refers to 鈥渃hief towns鈥�, according to the B峁沨atsa峁僪it膩 (chapter 10), an encyclopedic Sanskrit work written by Var膩hamihira mainly focusing on the science of ancient Indian astronomy astronomy (Jyoti峁).鈥擜ccordingly, 鈥淚f, while Saturn is in K峁泃tik膩, Jupiter should be in the constellation of Vi艣膩kh膩, mankind will then become very wicked. If both the planets should be in one and the same constellation, the chief towns [i.e., puraprabheda] will suffer. If Saturn should appear variegated in colour, birds will perish; if yellow, there will be fear from hunger; if of blood colour, there will be wars in the land and if of ashy colour, mankind will be very much at strife. If Saturn should appear as bright as the Vaid奴rya gem or pure or of the colour of the B膩峁嘺 (a black flower) or Atas墨 flower, mankind will be happy. Whatever may be the colour of Saturn, the persons who or objects which correspond to the particular colour will suffer鈥�.
