If they should be eclipsed when in the first section of the firmament, those that live by fire and virtuous Brahmins will suffer as well as men belonging to one of the holy orders. If they should be eclipsed when in the second section of the firmament, agriculturists, heretics, merchants, the K峁triyas and commanders of the army will suffer. If when in the third section, artisans, the 艢奴dras, the Mlecchas and ministers will suffer鈥�.
