Agni Purana (Jyotisha Selections) · by Vyasa
Chapter 5 · Omens
शकुनानि
यस्यां स्थितः सा ज्वलिता मुक्ता चाङ्गारिणी मता ।एतास्तिस्रः स्मृता दीप्ताः पञ्च शान्तास्तथाऽपराः ॥ ६ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 231, verse 6.
The one where he stands is burning. The one he has left is called coal-like. These three are called blazing. The other five are calm.
Simple meaning: 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.
रुतदीप्तश्च कथितो भिन्नभैरवनिःस्वनः ।
A broken, terrible cry is cry-blazing. A meat-only eater is species-blazing.
