Agni Purana (Jyotisha Selections) · by Vyasa
Chapter 5 · Omens
शकुनानि
पञ्चभिश्च तथा षड्भिरधन्या परिकीर्तिता ।सप्तभिश्च तथा धन्या निष्फला परतो भवेत् ॥ ३३ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 231, verse 33.
With five or six it is called not good. With seven it is good. Beyond that it is fruitless.
Simple meaning: 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.
प्रथमं सारङ्गे दृष्टे शुभे देशे शुभं वदेत् ।
Seeing the sarnga first in a good place is good for a year.
तथाविधं नरः पश्येत्सारङ्गं प्रथमेऽहनि ।
As the sarnga looks when first seen that day, so the person's year will go.
