Chapter 5 · Omens
शकुनानि
पुरतो धनलब्धिः स्यादाममांसस्य च्छर्दने ।भूलब्धिः स्यान्मृदः क्षेपे राज्यं रत्नार्पणे महत् ॥ ७ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 232, verse 7.
If it throws up raw meat in front, wealth comes. If it throws clay, land comes. If it offers a gem, a great kingdom comes.
Simple meaning: 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.
वामोऽनुलोमगः श्रेष्ठो मध्यमो दक्षिणः स्मृतः ।
A crow on the left going the right way is best. On the right, middling. Going wrong, it stops the trip.
