deśeṣu eteṣu ca etāni nakṣatrāṇi api vai dvija
54. O best of sages, it is declared that the "pāda" (division) is for the ripening of effects (pāka). And, O twice-born (dvija), these constellations (nakṣatras) are indeed also [relevant] in these regions.
एतत्पीडा अमी देशाः पीड्यन्ते ये क्रमोदिताः ।

55. etatpīḍā amī deśāḥ pīḍyante ye kramoditāḥ | yānti
ca abhyudayam vipra grahaiḥ samyak avasthitaiḥ
55. The regions which are mentioned in order are afflicted by distress related to this [celestial configuration]. And, O Brahmin (vipra), they attain prosperity through planets (grahas) that are properly situated.
यस्यर्क्षस्य पतिर्यो वै ग्रहस्तद्भावितो भयम् ।

| tatdeśasya muniśreṣṭha tatutkarṣe śubhāgamaḥ
56. O best of sages, when the planet (graha) that is the lord (pati) of a constellation (nakṣatra) is unfavorably influenced, fear (bhayam) arises for the corresponding region. And when that [planet/lord] is in exaltation (utkarṣa), there is the advent of good fortune (śubhāgamaḥ).
प्रत्येकं देशसामान्यं नक्षत्रग्रहसम्भवम् ।

57. pratyekaṃ deśasāmānyaṃ nakṣatragrahasambhavam .
bhayaṃ lokasya bhavati śobhanaṃ vā dvijottama.
57. pratyekam deśasāmānyam nakṣatragrahasambhavam
bhayam lokasya bhavati śobhanam vā dvijottama
57. O best among the twice-born, each event, whether it is a general condition of the country or caused by constellations (nakṣatras) and planets (grahas), becomes either fear or auspiciousness for the people.
स्वर्क्षैरशोभनैर्जन्तोः सामान्यमिति भीतिदम् ।

58. svarkṣairaśobhanairjantoḥ sāmānyamiti bhītidam .
grahairbhavati pīḍotthamalpāyāsamaśobhanam.
58. svaṛkṣaiḥ aśobhanaiḥ jantoḥ sāmānyam iti bhītidaṃ
grahaiḥ bhavati pīḍottham alpāyāsam aśobhanam
58. For a person, what is generally fear-giving due to inauspicious own-constellations (nakṣatras) - this is [one type of misfortune]. Affliction caused by planets (grahas) becomes inauspicious, even if it involves little effort.
तथैव शोभनः पाको दुः स्थितैश्च तथा ग्रहैः ।
अल्पोपकाराय नृणां देशज्ञैश्चात्मनो बुधैः ॥५९॥
59. tathaiva śobhanaḥ pāko duḥ sthitaiśca tathā grahaiḥ .
alpopakārāya nṛṇāṃ deśajñaiścātmano budhaiḥ.
59. tathā eva śobhanaḥ pākaḥ duḥsthitaiḥ ca tathā grahaiḥ
alpa upakārāya nṛṇām deśajñaiḥ ca ātmanaḥ budhaiḥ
59. Similarly, an auspicious outcome (pāka), even when due to unfavorably placed planets (grahas), is of little benefit to people. Likewise, [this outcome is of little benefit] to those wise ones (budhaiḥ) who are knowledgeable of the region and themselves.
द्रव्ये गोष्ठेऽथ भृत्येषु सुहृत्सु तनयेषु वा ।
भार्यायाञ्च ग्रहे दुस्थे भयं पुण्यवतां नृणाम् ॥६०॥
60. dravye goṣṭhe'tha bhṛtyeṣu suhṛtsu tanayeṣu vā .
bhāryāyāñca grahe dusthe bhayaṃ puṇyavatāṃ nṛṇām.
60. dravye goṣṭhe atha bhṛtyeṣu suhṛtsu tanayeṣu vā
bhāryāyām ca grahe dusthe bhayam puṇyavatām nṛṇām
60. When a planet (graha) is unfavorably situated, virtuous people (puṇyavatām nṛṇām) experience fear regarding their wealth, cattle, servants, friends, sons, or wife.
आत्मन्यथाल्पपुण्यानां सर्वत्रैवातिपापिनाम् ।
नैकत्रापि ह्यपापानां भयमस्ति कदाचन ॥६१॥
61. ātmanyathālpapuṇyānāṃ sarvatraivātipāpinām .
naikatrāpi hyapāpānāṃ bhayamasti kadācana.
61. ātmani atha alpapuṇyānām sarvatra eva atipāpinām
na ekatra api hi apāpānām bhayam asti kadācana
61. And for those who have accumulated little merit (puṇya), or for those who are extremely sinful, fear exists everywhere. However, for those who are sinless, there is indeed never any fear anywhere.
दिग्देशजनसामान्यं नृपसामान्यमात्मजम् ।
नक्षत्रग्रहसामान्यं नरो भुङ्क्ते शुभाशुभम् ॥६२॥
62. digdeśajanasāmānyaṃ nṛpasāmānyamātmajam .

62. digdeśajanasāmānyam nṛpasāmānyam ātmajam
nakṣatragrahasāmānyam naraḥ bhuṅkte śubhāśubham
62. A human being (nara) experiences both auspicious and inauspicious (śubhāśubham) [events], which are common to directions, regions, and individuals, common to rulers and one's own inner self (ātman), and common to constellations (nakṣatra) and planets (graha).
परस्पराभिरक्षा च ग्रहादौस्थ्येन जायते ।
एतेभ्य एव विप्रेन्द्र शुभहानिस्तथाशुभैः ॥६३॥
63. parasparābhirakṣā ca grahādausthyena jāyate .
etebhya eva viprendra śubhahānistathāśubhaiḥ.
63. paraspara abhirakṣā ca graha autthyena jāyate
etebhyaḥ eva vipra indra śubhahāniḥ tathā aśubhaiḥ
63. And mutual protection (parasparābhirakṣā) arises due to the adverse state of the planets (graha). From these very [planets], O chief among Brahmins (Vipra), comes the loss of auspiciousness, and similarly, by inauspicious [planetary influences] (graha).
यदेतत् कूर्मसंस्थानं नक्षत्रेषु मयोदितम् ।
एतत् तु देशसामान्यमशुभं शुभमेव च ॥६४॥
64. yadetat kūrmasaṃsthānaṃ nakṣatreṣu mayoditam .
etat tu deśasāmānyamaśubhaṃ śubhameva ca.
64. yat etat kūrmasaṃsthānam nakṣatreṣu mayā uditam
etat tu deśasāmānyam aśubham śubham eva ca
64. That which has been declared by me as this tortoise-like arrangement among the constellations (nakṣatra) - this, indeed, is common to various regions, bringing forth both inauspicious and auspicious (events).
तस्माद्विज्ञाय देशर्क्षं ग्रहपीडान्तथात्मनः ।
कुर्वोत शान्तिं मेधावी लोकवादांश्च सत्तम ॥६५॥
65. tasmādvijñāya deśarkṣaṃ grahapīḍāntathātmanaḥ .
kurvota śāntiṃ medhāvī lokavādāṃśca sattama.
65. tasmāt vijñāya deśaṛkṣam grahapīḍān tathā ātmanaḥ
kurvīta śāntim medhāvī lokavādān ca sattama
65. Therefore, O best among good people, an intelligent person, having understood the astrological significance of the region and its stars, as well as the planetary afflictions and those affecting one's own self (ātman), should perform pacification rituals and also respect popular traditions (lokavāda).
आकाशाद्देवतानाञ्च दैत्यादीनाञ्च दौर्हृदाः ।
पृथ्व्यां पतन्ति ते लोके लोकवादा इति श्रुताः ॥६६॥
66. ākāśāddevatānāñca daityādīnāñca daurhṛdāḥ .
pṛthvyāṃ patanti te loke lokavādā iti śrutāḥ.
66. ākāśāt devatānām ca daityādīnām ca daurhṛdāḥ
pṛthvyām patanti te loke lokavādāḥ iti śrutāḥ
66. The malicious intentions (daurhṛda) of the gods, as well as those of the demons and others, descend from the sky to the earth. These are known in the world as popular traditions (lokavāda).
तां तथैव बुधः कुर्यात् लोकवादान्न हापयेत् ।
तेषान्तत्करणान्नॄणां युक्तो दुष्टागमक्षयः ॥६७॥
67. tāṃ tathaiva budhaḥ kuryāt lokavādānna hāpayet .
teṣāntatkaraṇānnṝṇāṃ yukto duṣṭāgamakṣayaḥ.
67. tām tathā eva budhaḥ kuryāt lokavādān na hāpayet
teṣām tatkaraṇāt nṛṇām yuktaḥ duṣṭāgamakṣayaḥ
67. A wise person should perform that pacification (śānti) in the same way, and should not disregard popular traditions (lokavāda). Through the performance of those actions (relating to lokavāda), there is an appropriate destruction of evil influences for people.
शुभोदयं प्रहानिञ्च पापानां द्विजसत्तम ।
प्रज्ञाहानिं प्रकुर्युस्ते द्रव्यादीनाञ्च कुर्वते ॥६८॥
68. śubhodayaṃ prahāniñca pāpānāṃ dvijasattama .
prajñāhāniṃ prakuryuste dravyādīnāñca kurvate.
68. śubhodayam prahāṇim ca pāpānām dvijasattama
prajñāhānim prakuryuḥ te dravyādīnām ca kurvate
68. O best among the twice-born (dvija)! They (the evil influences from previous verses) would cause the loss of auspicious outcomes and hinder the destruction of sins. They also cause the loss of wisdom and the loss of wealth and other possessions.
तस्माच्छान्तिपरः प्राज्ञो लोकवादरतस्तथा ।
लोकवादांश्च शान्तीश्च ग्रहपीडासु कारयेत् ॥६९॥
69. tasmācchāntiparaḥ prājño lokavādaratastathā .
lokavādāṃśca śāntīśca grahapīḍāsu kārayet.
69. tasmāt śāntiparaḥ prājñaḥ lokavādarataḥ tathā
| lokavādān ca śāntīḥ ca grahapīḍāsu kārayet
69. Therefore, a wise person, devoted to propitiation and also attentive to popular remedies, should perform both these popular remedies and propitiatory rites when facing planetary afflictions.
अद्रोहानुपवासांश्च शस्तं चैत्यादिवन्दनम् ।
जपं होमं तथा दानं स्त्रानं क्रोधादिवर्जनम् ॥७०॥
70. adrohānupavāsāṃśca śastaṃ caityādivandanam .
japaṃ homaṃ tathā dānaṃ strānaṃ krodhādivarjanam.
70. adrohānupavāsān ca śastam caityādivandanam |
japam homam tathā dānam snānam krodhādivarjanam
70. Non-harming, the avoidance of fasting, and the worship of shrines and similar sacred places are commendable. Also (commended are) recitation (japa), fire sacrifice (homa), charity (dāna), ritual bathing, and the avoidance of anger and similar vices.
अद्रोहः सर्वभूतेषु मैत्रीं कुर्याच्च पण्डितः ।
वर्जयेदसतीं वाचमतिवादांस्तथैव च ॥७१॥
71. adrohaḥ sarvabhūteṣu maitrīṃ kuryācca paṇḍitaḥ .
varjayedasatīṃ vācamativādāṃstathaiva ca.
71. adrohaḥ sarvabhūteṣu maitrīm kuryāt ca paṇḍitaḥ
| varjayet asatīm vācam ativādān tathā eva ca
71. A wise person (paṇḍita) should cultivate non-harming and friendship towards all beings. And similarly, one should avoid improper speech and abusive words.
ग्रहपूजाञ्च कुर्वोत सर्वपीडासु मानवः ।
एवं शाम्यन्त्यशेषाणि घोराणि द्विजसत्तम ॥७२॥
72. grahapūjāñca kurvota sarvapīḍāsu mānavaḥ .
evaṃ śāmyantyaśeṣāṇi ghorāṇi dvijasattama.
72. grahapūjām ca kurvīta sarvapīḍāsu mānavaḥ |
evam śāmyanti aśeṣāṇi ghorāṇi dvijasattama
72. O best among the twice-born (dvija), a human being should perform the worship of planets (grahapūjā) for all afflictions. In this way, all remaining dreadful things are completely appeased.
प्रयतानां मनुष्याणां ग्रहर्क्षोत्थान्यशेषतः ।
एष कूर्मो मया ख्यातो भारते भगवान् विभुः ॥७३॥
73. prayatānāṃ manuṣyāṇāṃ graharkṣotthānyaśeṣataḥ .
eṣa kūrmo mayā khyāto bhārate bhagavān vibhuḥ.
73. prayatānām manuṣyāṇām graharṣautthāni aśeṣataḥ |
eṣa kūrmaḥ mayā khyātaḥ bhārate bhagavān vibhuḥ
73. For diligent human beings, this revered, all-pervading Lord (Bhagavān) Kūrma, whom I have described in the Mahābhārata, completely manifests all effects originating from the planets (graha) and constellations (ṛkṣa).
नारायणो ह्यचिन्त्यात्मा यत्र सर्वं प्रतिष्ठितम् ।
तत्र देवाः स्थिताः सर्वे प्रतिनक्षत्रसंश्रयाः ॥७४॥
74. nārāyaṇo hyacintyātmā yatra sarvaṃ pratiṣṭhitam .
tatra devāḥ sthitāḥ sarve pratinakṣatrasaṃśrayāḥ.
74. nārāyaṇaḥ hi acintyātmā yatra sarvam pratiṣṭhitam
| tatra devāḥ sthitāḥ sarve pratinakṣatrasaṃśrayāḥ
74. Indeed, Nārāyaṇa, whose intrinsic nature (ātman) is inconceivable, is the foundation upon which everything rests. In Him, all the gods are situated, each relying upon a specific constellation.
तथा मध्ये हुतवहः पृथ्वी सोमश्च वै द्विज ।
मेषादयस्त्रयो मध्ये मुखे द्वौ मिथुनादिकौ ॥७५॥
75. tathā madhye hutavahaḥ pṛthvī somaśca vai dvija .
meṣādayastrayo madhye mukhe dvau mithunādikau.
75. tathā madhye hutavahaḥ pṛthvī somaḥ ca vai dvija
| meṣādayaḥ trayaḥ madhye mukhe dvau mithunādikau
75. Similarly, O twice-born (dvija), Fire (Agni), Earth, and Soma (Moon) are in the middle. The three (zodiac signs) beginning with Meṣa (Aries) are in the middle, and the two (signs) beginning with Mithuna (Gemini) are in the head (mukha).
प्राग्दक्षिणे तथा पादे कर्कसिंहौ व्यवस्थितौ ।
सिंहकन्यातुलाश्चैव कुक्षौ राशैत्रयं स्थितम् ॥७६॥
76. prāgdakṣiṇe tathā pāde karkasiṃhau vyavasthitau .
siṃhakanyātulāścaiva kukṣau rāśaitrayaṃ sthitam.
76. prāgrakṣiṇe tathā pāde karkasiṃhau vyavasthitau |
siṃhakanyātulāḥ ca eva kukṣau rāśitrayam sthitam
