Parasara on Earthquakes
It is said that the subject of earthquakes has been exhaustively dealt with by Sage Parasara in the third part of his Hora, but unfortunately this particular part has not been traced.

As early as the beginning of Kaliyuga (310 B.C.) Parasara had observed thus:
"Arka Chandra grahana graha vikrilhachara jamscha kampana hayulu"
meaning that when the course of a planet is disturbed from the normal path owing to the attractive force of other planets there is a shaking of the planet which is perceived as an earthquake.
