Agni Purana (Jyotisha Selections) · by Vyasa
Chapter 5 · Omens
शकुनानि
पूर्वा पूर्वा च विज्ञेया सा तेषां बलवत्तरा ।दिवाचरो रात्रिचरस्तथा रात्रौ(त्रि)दिवाचरः ॥ ४ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 231, verse 4.
Of these, each earlier one should be known as the stronger. A day creature moving at night is time-blazing. So is a night creature moving by day.
Simple meaning: 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.
दीप्तायां दिशि दिग्दीप्तं शकुनं परिकीर्तितम् ।
An omen in a blazing direction is direction-blazing. Wild animals in a village are a bad place sign.
