Chapter 5 · Omens
शकुनानि
कपिश्रीकर्णपिप्पीका रुरुश्येनाश्च दक्षिणाः ।जातिकाहिशशक्रोडगोधानां कीर्तनं शुभम् ॥ २९ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 231, verse 29.
monkey, shrikarna, pippika bird, ruru deer and hawks are good on the right. Naming jatika, snake, hare, boar and monitor lizard is good.
Simple meaning: Female-named creatures and hawks are good on the right. Saying the names of a snake, hare or boar is good.
ततः संदर्शनं नेष्टं प्रतीपं वानरर्क्षयोः ।
Naming them is good, seeing them is not. A strong omen met on a journey gives its result that day.
भवेत्तस्य फलं वाच्यं तदेव दिवसं बुधैः ।
The wise should tell the result for that same day. Drunk or hungry animals do not count.
सीमान्तमभ्यन्तरिता विज्ञेया निष्फला द्विज ।
Animals in rut, hungry, young or fighting give no result. A jackal calling one to four times is good.
