शकुनानि
ग्रामे व्रजति नागश्चेन्मैथुनं देशहा भवेत् ।प्रसूता नागवनिता मत्ता चान्ताय भूपतेः ॥ ३२ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 232, verse 32.
If an elephant goes into a village and mates, it destroys the country. A mother elephant who has given birth, or one in rut, means the king's end.
Simple meaning: An elephant mating in a village harms the land. A mother or rutting elephant points to the king's end.
आरोहणं न चेद्द्यात्प्रतीपं वा गृहं व्रजेत् ।
An elephant refusing a rider, turning home or losing its rut can point to the king's death.
वामं दक्षिणपादेन पादमाक्रमते शुभः ।
An elephant stepping on its left foot with the right, or wiping its right tusk, is good.
वृषोऽश्वः कुञ्जरो वाऽपि रिपुसैन्यगतोऽशुभः ।
A bull, horse or elephant joining the enemy army is bad. Heavy rain from broken clouds can ruin an army.
