One who, having previously seen the fixed star called Arandhati, cannot see it, or that other star called Dhruva, or one that sees the full Moon or the flame of a burning lamp to be broken towards the south, has but one year to live.
योऽरुन्धतीं न पश्येत दृष्टपूर्वां कदाचन। तथैव ध्रुवमित्याहुः पूर्णेन्दुं दीपमेव च॥ खण्डाभासं दक्षिणतस्तेऽपि संवत्सरायुषः।
