Source: Wisdom Library: Brihat Samhita by Varahamihira

Kṣitipa (क्षितिप) refers to “princes” or “kings”, according to the Bṛhatsaṃhitā (chapter 5), an encyclopedic Sanskrit work written by Varāhamihira mainly focusing on the science of ancient Indian astronomy astronomy (Jyotiṣa).—Accordingly, “If there should be both lunar and solar eclipses in one month, princes [i.e., kṣitipa] will suffer both from dissensions among their own army and from wars. If the eclipse should occur at rising or setting, the crops of Śarat (October and November) will perish and princes will suffer. In total eclipses if the eclipsed sun or moon should be subject to malefic planetary influence, there will be death and famine in the land”.
