Agni Purana (Jyotisha Selections) · by Vyasa
Chapter 5 · Omens
शकुनानि
निमित्ते शकुने धन्ये जाते शत्रुपुरं व्रजेत् ।पदातिनागबहुलां सेनां प्रावृषि योजयेत् ॥ ५ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 228, verse 5.
When a good omen has come, and a good bird or animal omen, one should go to the enemy's city. In the rainy season he should send out an army with many foot soldiers and elephants.
Simple meaning: On good omens, go against the enemy city. In the rains, send an army of foot soldiers and elephants.
सेना पदातिबहुला शत्रूञ्जयति सर्वदा ।
An army strong in foot soldiers wins. A twitch on the right side of the body is good.
न शस्तं तु तथा वामे पृष्ठस्य हृदयस्य च ।
Twitches and marks on the left are not good for men. For women the left side is good.
सितवस्त्रं प्रसन्नाम्भः फली वृक्षो नभोऽमलम् ।
A white cloth, clear water, a fruit tree and a clear sky are good. Black grain is not.
