(b) Change in Time -
 
If there is a change in the duration of the Svaras, that
is, their duration either increases or decreases then such
changes forecast either auspicious or inauspicious results.
Here, as a general rule, it must be noted that change to the
left Svara is usually indicative of auspicious results while
inauspicious results follow a change to the Suşumnā Svara
(Svara flowing through both the nostrils at the same time).
