शकुनानि
तथाविधं नरः पश्येत्सारङ्गं प्रथमेऽहनि ।आत्मनश्च तथात्वेन ज्ञातव्यं वत्सरं फलम् ॥ ३६ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 231, verse 36.
Say a man sees a sarnga in some state on the first day. His own year will turn out the same way.
Simple meaning: As the sarnga looks when first seen that day, so the person's year will go.
विशन्ति येन मार्गेण वायसा बहवः पुरम् ।
If many crows enter a besieged city by one road, the city will be taken by that road.
सेनायां यदि वा सार्थे निविष्टो वायसो रुदन् ।
A crying, trembling crow on the left in an army or a caravan tells of great fear.
छायाङ्गवाहनोपानच्छत्रवस्त्रादिकुट्टने ।
A crow pecking at a traveler's shadow, shoes or umbrella is a death sign. Honouring it brings good.
