Answer
Study question (generated from the text)
Within a year: seeing a circular halo in the half moon and being unable to see the pole star, the star Arundhati, the sky, the moon's rays or the day's sunshine. Within six months: owls, crows, fierce vultures and similar birds flying over a person's head or forcibly sitting on it.
Detailed answer
The list runs from two years (seeing the discs of the moon and sun and the earth in the five colours of a rainbow or as if full of holes) down to one day (not hearing the samudraghosha, which a footnote explains as the sound heard when the ears are closed with the fingers, and not seeing the light at the corner of the eye or the tip of the nose). These are the text's traditional prognostic statements.
