Preview of English translation:
5. And as to this graha of Soma, that is food; for whatever deity one draws this graha, that deity, being seized by this graha, fulfils that wish of his for which he draws it. He approaches either the rising or the setting sun, thinking, “Thou art the seizer, seize thou N.N. by such and such a disease! may N.N. not obtain such and such!” (naming) him whom he hates; or with, “May such and such a wish not be fulfilled to him!” and, assuredly, that wish is not fulfilled to him for whom he thus approaches (the sun).
