अद्य चन्द्रोऽभ्युपगतः पुष्यात्पूर्वं पुनर्वसू। श्वः पुष्ययोगं नियतं वक्ष्यन्ते दैवचिन्तकाः

adya candro'bhyupagataḥ puṣyātpūrvaṃ punarvasū| śvaḥ puṣyayogaṃ niyataṃ vakṣyante daivacintakāḥ

Translation (English)

Today the Moon is in conjunction with the Punarvasu constellation. Tomorrow the Moon's conjunction with the Pushya constellation is certain and the astrologers say this auspicious time is highly suitable for the purpose of coronation.

M.N. Dutt (1891)

Commentary
