Chapter 5 · Omens
शकुनानि
शङ्ख इक्षुः शुभं वाक्यं भक्तवादित्रगीतकम् ।गम्भीरमेघस्तनितं तडित्तुष्टिश्च मानसी ।एकतः सर्वलिङ्गानि मनसस्तुष्टिरेकतः ॥ १३ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 230, verse 13.
A conch, sugarcane, a kind word, cooked food, music and song. A deep rumble of cloud, lightning, and a happy mind. On one side are all the signs. On the other side is a happy mind.
Simple meaning: A conch, sugarcane, a kind word, food, music and thunder are good. A happy mind weighs as much as all signs.
तिष्ठतो गमने प्रश्ने पुरुषस्य शुभाशुभम् ।
Omens tell good and bad for a person, a country and a city, whether still, moving or asking.
सर्वः पापफलो दीप्तो निर्दिष्टो दैवचिन्तकैः ।
A blazing omen gives bad results. A calm omen gives good results.
षट्प्रकारा विनिर्दिष्टाः शकुनानां च दीप्तयः ।
Blazing omens are of six kinds: time, direction, place, act, cry and species.
