Chapter 5 · Omens
शकुनानि
छायाङ्गवाहनोपानच्छत्रवस्त्रादिकुट्टने ।मृत्युस्तत्पूजने पूजा तदिष्टकरणे शुभम् ॥ ३ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 232, verse 3.
If it pecks at his shadow, body, mount, shoes, umbrella, clothes and the like: death. If one honours it, one is honoured. If one does what it likes, it brings good.
Simple meaning: A crow pecking at a traveler's shadow, shoes or umbrella is a death sign. Honouring it brings good.
प्रोषितागमकृत्काकः कुर्वन्द्वारि गतागतम् ।
A crow going to and fro at the door tells that someone away will return. Red or burnt things tell of fire.
न्यसेद्रक्तं पुरस्ताच्च निवेदयति बन्धनम् ।
A crow dropping a red thing in front warns of prison. A yellow thing, gold or silver leads on.
यच्चैवोपनयेद्द्रव्यं तस्य लब्धिं विनिर्दिशेत् ।
What the crow brings shows gain. What it takes away shows loss.
