शकुनानि
गृहाद्गम्य यदा चासो(षो) व्याहरन्पुरतः स्थितः ।नृपावमानं वदति वामः कलहभोजने ॥ २१ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 231, verse 21.
Say an Indian roller leaves the house and stands in front, calling. It tells of an insult from the king. On the left, it tells of a quarrel and of a meal.
Simple meaning: An Indian roller calling in front means an insult from the king. On the left, a quarrel and a meal.
याने तद्दर्शनं शस्तं सव्यमङ्गस्य वाऽप्यथ ।
Seeing an Indian roller on a journey is good. A peacock's broken cry warns of thieves.
प्रयातस्याग्रतो राम मृगः प्राणहरो भवेत् ।
A deer in front of a traveler can mean danger to his life. Bears, jackals, tigers and cats are also named.
प्रतिलोमास्तथा राम खरश्च विकृतस्वनः ।
These animals going the wrong way can mean danger to life. A francolin on either side is good.
