NW N NE

SW S
The water currents that are flowing from North, East, South and West directions are
considered to be good. The water currents that are flowing in the directions of North-
East, North-West, South-East and South-West will have less quantity of water.
If Rotang (Pabbali) tree is located in a place where water is not available on the
surface, the water current can be found underneath the earth at a distance of 3 mooras
and at a depth of 7-1/2 mooras (Moora = nearly 20 inches). While digging at that
place white frog, yellow sand and hard stone can be found as symptoms.
Like this, the name of the tree, the distance from the tree, the direction, the depth and
the symptoms are given in Brihat Samhita in its Jalargala Adhyaya.
If grass is grown at a place and not grown at nearby place, one can find either water
current or treasure underneath the earth.
If sounds are produced while walking in places where water is not available on the
surface, the water currents from North can be found at a depth of 17-1/2 Mooras.
If any tree is located in a dry area, with its branches hanging downwards water
springs can be found at a depth of 15 mooras under the hanging branch.
Many Sutras of this type were mentioned in the classic Brihat Samhita.
In deserts water flows up and down in springs similar to that of the neck of a camel.
Peelu tree having ant hill north east side, north west side to the ant hill at a distance of
25 mooras, water currents can be found underneath the earth.
The symptoms for this are, frog, black soil, yellow soil, below that a stone at a depth
of 5 mooras, and after that water currents can be found.
If any unnatural or odd thing is visible in places where water is not available on the
surface, Water currents underneath the earth can be found in those places.
Keeping some firewood obtained from certain trees on the stones and burning them
and after burning if limewater is sprinkled, the stone will break.
