It steps with its right foot on its left foot: good. And it wipes its right tusk with its trunk.
Simple meaning: 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.
हृष्टा नराश्चानुलोमा ग्रहा वै जयलक्षणम् ।
Happy men and planets moving rightly mean victory. East, west, north-east and north are good directions.
