शकुनानि
न्यसेद्रक्तं पुरस्ताच्च निवेदयति बन्धनम् ।पीतं द्रव्यं तथा रुक्मरूप्यमेव तु भार्गव ॥ ५ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 232, verse 5.
If it puts down a red thing in front, it tells of bondage. And if it puts down a yellow thing, gold or silver, O Bhargava,
Simple meaning: 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.
पुरतो धनलब्धिः स्यादाममांसस्य च्छर्दने ।
A crow spitting raw meat shows wealth. Throwing clay shows land. Offering a gem shows a kingdom.
यातुः काकोऽनुकूलस्तु क्षेमः कर्मक्षमो भवेत् ।
A crow on the traveler's good side brings safety. An unfavourable one brings fear.
