If his course should lie through the constellations of Āśleá¹£Ä�, Åšatabhiá¹£aj, JyeṣṭhÄ, there will be prosperity in the land but slight rain; if his course should lie through MÅ«la, mankind will suffer from hunger, from weapons and from drought [i.e., ²¹±¹á¹›á¹£á¹­i°ì²¹°ù²¹]. We will now proceed to state the effects of Saturn’s course through each of the 27 constellationsâ€�.
