Chapter 5 · Omens
शकुनानि
षट्प्रकारा विनिर्दिष्टाः शकुनानां च दीप्तयः ।वेलादिग्देशकरणरुतजातिविभेदतः ॥ ३ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 231, verse 3.
Six kinds of blazing omens are named, by their difference of time, direction, place, act, cry and species.
Simple meaning: 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.
यस्यां स्थितः सा ज्वलिता मुक्ता चाङ्गारिणी मता ।
The direction the Sun stands in is burning, and the one he left is coal-like. Five others are calm.
