Agni Purana (Jyotisha Selections) · by Vyasa
Chapter 5 · Omens
शकुनानि
यच्चैवोपनयेद्द्रव्यं तस्य लब्धिं विनिर्दिशेत् ।द्रव्यं वाऽपनयेद्यत्तु तस्य हानिं विनिर्दिशेत् ॥ ६ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 232, verse 6.
whatever thing it brings near, one should point to gain from it. Whatever thing it carries off, one should point to loss from it.
Simple meaning: 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.
संमुखेऽभ्येति विरुवन्यात्राघातकरो भवेत् ।
A crow crying in front spoils the trip. On the left it is good. On the right it ruins gain.
