and those cut off by a boundary should be known as fruitless, O twice-born. A jackal is good with one, two, three or four cries.

पञ्चभिश्च तथा षड्भिरधन्या परिकीर्तिता ।
A jackal calling five or six times is not good. Seven is good. More gives nothing.
नृणां रोमाञ्चजननी वाहनानां भयप्रदा ।

प्रथमं सारङ्गे दृष्टे शुभे देशे शुभं वदेत् ।
Seeing the sarnga first in a good place is good for a year.
