Śivasvarodaya
 
No work should be done when the Akasa Element is
dominating because everything draws a blank during its
reign. However, Yoga Sādhanā can be done during its
dominance.

पृथ्वीजलाभ्यांसिद्धिः
 
स्यान्मृत्युर्वह्नौ क्षयोऽनिले ।
 
नभसो निष्फलं सर्वं ज्ञातव्यं तत्त्ववादिभिः ॥ १६२ ॥
 
The Earth and Water Elements provide Siddhi (success),
Fire Element provides death; the Air Element provides
destruction or loss, and the Akasa Element makes everything
infructuous-so should such persons know who possess the
knowledge of the Tattvas.
 
चिरलाभः क्षितेर्ज्ञेयस्तत्क्षणे तोयतत्त्वतः ।
हानिःस्याद्वह्निवाताभ्यांनभसोनिष्फलंभवेत् ॥१६३॥
 
The Earth Element gives considerable success; the Water
Element gives immediate profit, the Air and Fire Elements
provide loss, and the Akasa Element makes things
 
unsuccessful.
 
पीतः शनैर्मध्यवाही हनुर्यावद्गुरुध्वनिः ।
 
कवोष्णः पार्थिवो वायुः स्थिरकार्यप्रसाधकः ॥१६४॥
 
When there is yellow colour, the Svara is moving con-
sistently and with a moderate speed with the heaviness of its
sound experienced upto the chin, and which may be slightly
warm then one should know it to be the dominance of the
Farth Element which provides success in all kinds of sta-
tionary works.
 
अधोवाही गुरुध्वानः शीघ्रगः शीतलः स्थितः ।
यः षोडशांगुलोवायुः सआपः शुभकर्मकृत् ॥१६५॥
 
heavy,
 
That which flows downwards, whose sound is
which is fast in speed, which may be slightly cold, and whose
distance may be sixteen fingers, should be known as the Svara
of Water dominance, and under it one should do only auspi-
cious works.
 
आवर्त्तगश्चत्युष्णश्च
 
ऊर्ध्वं वाही च यः क्रूरः कर्मकारी स तैजसः ॥१६६॥
 
शोणाभश्चतुरंगुलः ।
