ग्रहचारः केतवश्च
ऊर्द्धैर्भानुकरैस्ताम्रैर्नाशं याति चमूपतिः ।पीतैर्नृपसुतः श्वेतैः पुरोधाश्चित्रितैर्जनाः ॥ ७ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 7.
If the Sun's rays rise up and look copper-coloured, the army chief's life may be at risk. If yellow, the prince's. If white, the royal priest's. If many-coloured, the people's.
Simple meaning: Copper, yellow, white or many-coloured upward Sun rays point to risk for the army chief, prince, priest or people.
धूम्रैर्नृपपिशंगैस्तु जलदाधोमुखैर्जगत् ।
Smoky rays may harm the king, downward rays the world. Tawny rays bring rain. A copper late-winter Sun is good.
ग्रीष्मश्चापांडुरश्चैव विचित्रो जलदागमे ।
The Sun has a set colour in each season, such as many colours in the rains.
पीतः शीते सिते वृष्टौ ग्रीष्मे लोहितभा रविः ।
A yellow, white or red Sun in these seasons can bring illness, drought and fear in that order.
