[...] If the horns should together appear like a circle then the provincial rulers will have to quit their places. If the northern horn should be higher than the southern one otherwise than as stated already, the crops will flourish and there will be good rain [i.e., kṣemavṛddhi-vṛṣṭi-kara]. If the southern horn should be similarly higher there will be famine and fear in the land”.
