शकुनानि
भवेत्तस्य फलं वाच्यं तदेव दिवसं बुधैः ।मत्ता भक्ष्यार्थिनो बाला वैरसक्तास्तथैव च ॥ ३१ ॥

and its result should be told by the wise for that same day. Those in rut, those hungry for food, the young, those caught up in a fight,
Simple meaning: 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.
पञ्चभिश्च तथा षड्भिरधन्या परिकीर्तिता ।
A jackal calling five or six times is not good. Seven is good. More gives nothing.
नृणां रोमाञ्चजननी वाहनानां भयप्रदा ।
A jackal that scares men and horses, spits fire or faces the Sun brings more fear.
