Chapter 5 · Omens
शकुनानि
दीप्तायां दिशि दिग्दीप्तं शकुनं परिकीर्तितम् ।ग्रामेऽरण्या वने ग्राम्यास्तथा निन्दितपादपः ॥ ७ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 231, verse 7.
An omen in a blazing direction is called direction-blazing. Wild animals in a village, village animals in a forest, and condemned trees are place-blazing.
Simple meaning: 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.
दीप्ताच्छान्तो विनिर्दिष्टः सर्वैर्भेदैः प्रयत्नतः ।
A calm omen is told from a blazing one. Mixed signs give a mixed result.
