It may not let one mount, or may turn back to the house. Or the elephant may lose its rut. Then it brings the king's death.
Simple meaning: 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.
प्रतिकूलग्रहर्क्षात्तु तथा संमुखमारुतात् ।
A falling umbrella with a bad planet or star, or a headwind, brings fear in a journey or battle.
