Jyotisha (astronomy and astrology)

Source: Wisdom Library: Brihat Samhita by Varahamihira

Bhūridhana (भूरिधन) refers to “prosperity”, according to the Bṛhatsaṃhitā (chapter 9), an encyclopedic Sanskrit work written by Varāhamihira mainly focusing on the science of ancient Indian astronomy astronomy (Jyotiṣa).—Accordingly, “The six constellations from Dhaniṣṭhā form the sixth maṇḍala; if Venus should reappear in it there will be wealth and prosperity in the land and cows will thrive [i.e., bhūridhana-gokula-ākula] and crops will be abundant but fear in certain places. If Venus, who so reappears in the said maṇḍala should be crossed by a planet, the Śūlikas, the people of Gāndhāra and of Avantī will be afflicted with miseries. The Videhas will perish. The servants of the border Mlecchas and of the Yavanas will prosper”.
