If the course of Saturn should lie through the constellation of Anurādhā, the Kulūtas, the Taṅgaṇas, the Khasas, the people of Kāśmīra, ministers, drivers [i.e., yāntin—upatāpaṃ yānti ca] and bell-ringers will suffer, and friends will turn into enemies”.

Pali-English dictionary

Yanti, is 3^rd pl. pres. of yā: see yāti.—Note. At D. II, 269 we should combine yanti with preceding visamā & sambādhā, thus forming denom. verbs: visamāyanti “become uneven” and sambādhāyanti “become oppressed or tight. ” The translation Dial II. 305 gives just the opposite by reading incorrectly. (Page 550)
