Some Venus omens in India (4)

Text
Gargasamhitā 6.28-29:
28. When the Sun is in the summer (= in the northern hemisphere) and the son of Bhṛgu is to the North, tranquillity is outstanding; then the god rains. 29. If Venus in the South bows down during the day to the Sun to the North, the god does not rain for all those months.

Enūma Anu Enlil, VAT 10218, 116-119:
If Venus stands in its position at the South, rains will come in the land. If Venus stands in its position at the North, rains will be continual in the land. If Venus stands in its position at the East, rains will be continual in the land. If Venus stands in its position at the West, rains will be scarce.
