Verse 1 — Planets that Bring Rain
वृष्टिर्दृश्यते भौमे जलेशे च सुखस्थिते । शुक्रजीवौ यदा जले वर्षं भवति निश्चितम् ॥
vṛṣṭir dṛśyate bhaume jaleśe ca sukha-sthite | śukra-jīvau yadā jale varṣaṃ bhavati niścitam ||
Rain is seen when Mars and the lord of water are well placed; and when Venus and Jupiter occupy watery signs, rainfall is certain.
