Agni Purana (Jyotisha Selections) · by Vyasa
Chapter 5 · Omens
शकुनानि
सर्वः पापफलो दीप्तो निर्दिष्टो दैवचिन्तकैः ।शान्तः शुभफलश्चैव दैवज्ञैः समुदाहृतः ॥ २ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 231, verse 2.
Every blazing omen is named by those who study fate as giving bad results. A calm one is said by astrologers to give good results.
Simple meaning: 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.
पूर्वा पूर्वा च विज्ञेया सा तेषां बलवत्तरा ।
Each earlier kind is stronger. A day animal out at night, or a night animal by day, is a bad time sign.
क्रूरेषु दीप्ता विज्ञेया ऋक्षलग्नग्रहादिषु ।
Time is blazing when the star, rising sign and planets are cruel. The Sun's next direction is smoky.
