Agni Purana (Jyotisha Selections) · by Vyasa
Chapter 5 · Omens
शकुनानि
गच्छेति पश्चाच्छब्दोऽग्र्यः पुरस्तात्तु विगर्हितः ।क्व यासि तिष्ठ मा गच्छ किं ते तत्र गतस्य च ॥ ६ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 230, verse 6.
The call 'Go!' from behind is the best. From the front it is condemned. Also condemned: 'Where are you going?', 'Stay', 'Do not go', and 'What is there for you, having gone there?'
Simple meaning: 'Go' said from behind is best. 'Stay' or 'Where are you going' is bad.
अनिष्टशब्दा मृत्यर्थं क्रव्यादश्च ध्वजादिगः ।
Unwelcome words, a flesh-eating bird on a flag, stumbling mounts or broken weapons can point to death.
शिरोघातश्च हाराद्यैश्छत्रवासादिपातनम् ।
A blow to the head or a falling umbrella is bad. Praying to Hari removes it.
द्वितीयं तु ततो दृष्ट्वा विरुद्धं प्रविशेद्गृहम् ।
After a second bad sign, go back home. White flowers and a full pot are good.
