[...]”.
Jyotisha (ज्योतिष, jyotiṣa or jyotish) refers to ‘astronomy’ or “Vedic astrology” and represents the fifth of the six Vedangas (additional sciences to be studied along with the Vedas).

His cheeks are washed with the must-fluid that flows in streams; he is filled with thunder (stanita-abhipūrṇa) (roaring) like a rolled-up cloud; rushing forward intent on slaying even those at a distance, —(in this state) the lordly elephant is declared to be ‘wet-cheeked’ (in the second stage of must)”.
