विष्टिकरणजातस्य भद्राख्यो योऽतिदुःखदः । जन्मनि तस्य दारिद्र्यं चञ्चलत्वं च जायते ॥
viṣṭikaraṇajātasya bhaḍrākhyo yo'tiduḥkhadaḥ | janmani tasya dāridryaṃ cañcalatvaṃ ca jāyate ||
Birth during the Vishti (Bhadra) karana is very sorrowful; such a one experiences poverty and restlessness.
आदित्ये गुरुशुक्रेषु भद्रा स्वर्गे वसेत् शुभे । शनिसौम्यदिने भूमौ सोममङ्गलदिने पाताले ॥
āditye guruśukreṣu bhaḍrā svarge vaset śubhe | śanisaumyadine bhūmau somamaṅgaladine pātāle ||
On Sunday, Thursday and Friday Bhadra dwells auspiciously in heaven; on Saturday and Wednesday she moves upon the earth, and on Monday and Tuesday she resides in the nether world (patala).
भद्राज्जातः क्रूरो भैरवस्तप्तो रोगभयैर्युतः । दानहोमजपैस्तस्य शान्तिर्भद्रार्चनाद् भवेत् ॥
bhaḍrāj jātaḥ krūro bhairavas tapto rogabhayair yutaḥ | dānahomajapais tasya śāntir bhaḍrārcanād bhavet ||
One born under Bhadra becomes cruel and fierce, tormented and afflicted with disease and fear; his peace comes through charity, fire-oblation and japa, together with the propitiation of Bhadra.
