Chapter 5 · Omens
शकुनानि
क्रूरेषु दीप्ता विज्ञेया ऋक्षलग्नग्रहादिषु ।धूमिता सा तु विज्ञेया यां गमिष्यति भास्करः ॥ ५ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 231, verse 5.
A blazing time is known when the nakshatra (star), the lagna (rising sign) and the planets are cruel. The direction the Sun will go into is called smoky.
Simple meaning: 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.
देशे चैवाशुभे ज्ञेयो देशदीप्तो द्विजोत्तम ।
In a bad place it is place-blazing. An act unfit for its own kind is act-blazing.
