Chapter 5 · Omens
शकुनानि
अमेध्यपूर्णवदनः काकः सर्वार्थसाधकः ।ज्ञेयाः पतत्रिणोऽन्येऽपि काकवद्भृगुनन्दन ॥ १३ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 232, verse 13.
A crow with a mouth full of filth gets every aim done. Other birds should be known like the crow, O son of Bhrigu.
Simple meaning: A crow with filth in its beak brings success. Other birds read like the crow.
स्कन्धावारापसव्यस्थाः श्वानो विप्रविनाशकाः ।
Dogs on the right of a camp harm brahmins. A dog barking at a shrine or gate can mean a ruler's death.
अन्तर्गृहे गृहेशस्य मरणाय भवेद्भषन् ।
A dog barking inside the house means death for the owner. Sniffing someone's left side brings his aim.
भयाय दक्षिणं चाङ्गं तथा भुजमदक्षिणम् ।
A dog sniffing the right side or left arm brings fear. One facing the traveler spoils his trip.
