ग्रहचारः केतवश्च
सुभिक्षकृत्कौमुदाख्यः केतुः कुमुदसन्निभः ।आवर्तकेतुसंध्यायां शशिरो नेष्टदायकः ॥ १०८ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 108.
The comet called Kaumuda looks like a white water lily and brings plenty of food. The Avarta comet, seen at twilight with a head, is not good.
Simple meaning: The lily-white Kaumuda comet brings plenty. The Avarta comet at twilight is not good.
कुजात्मजाः कुंकुमाख्या रक्ताः शूलास्त्वनिष्टदाः ।
Red spear-shaped comets of Mars are bad. Fire-coloured comets of Agni bring comfort.
अरुणाः श्यामलाकारा अर्कपुत्राश्च पापदाः ।
Dusky comets of the Sun are bad. Star-like comets of Venus are good.
कृत्तिकासु भवो धूमकेतुर्नूनं प्रजाक्षयः ।
A comet in Krittika can mean loss of people. One on palaces or trees can harm kings.
