t. Lipi “17th September.” (akasha, varnamaya) Typical Trikaldrishti A frog hopping in one direction, with no sign of turning.

Another frog comes from the opposite direction; indication that the bodies of the two frogs will meet one leaping on the other, although the lines of their motion were not such as to promise meet- ing. The smaller frog turned away & began hopping in the opposite direction, but the larger pursued & sprang upon it, thus fulfilling the trikaldrishti, but with a variation of circumstance which had not been foreseen.

Sept. 15 Two crows descend into the road behind the wall fighting & are invisible. Indication that they will immediately rise above the wall fighting in the air & part. Fulfilled precisely, though the trikaldrishti itself was not jyotirmaya.
