“Telugu:
చిత్త చిత్తగించి స్వాతి దయచేశి విశాఖ విశిరి కొట్టకుంటే, వీసానికి పుట్టెడు పండుతాను అన్నట్టు”
English Translation:
“ If Chitta is kind, if Svati shows favor, and if Visakha does not blow too much, I will produce a Putti [of corn] to a Visam [of land]” said [the field].Chitta and Swati are the 14th and 15th lunar mansions, in which rain is expected. Visఅkha is the 16th lunar mansion in which high winds are common.—Putti is a corn measure of 500lbs. Visam is the fraction 1/16 —here the 16th part of a Gunta, a land measure equal to 1/40 of an acre.Calm weather in June sets corn in tune.A shower in July, when the corn begin: to fill,Is worth a plough of oxen, and all belong: there till.Dry August and warm doth harvest no harm.
