Agni Purana (Jyotisha Selections) · by Vyasa
Chapter 7 · Portents
उत्पाताः
सप्ताहाभ्यन्तरे वृष्टावद्भुतं निष्फलं भवेत् ।शान्तिं विना त्रिभिर्वर्षैरद्भुतं भयकृद्भवेत् ॥ १४ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 263, verse 14.
If rain falls within seven days, the portent comes to nothing. Without a peace ritual, the portent brings fear within three years.
Simple meaning: Rain within seven days cancels the portent. Without a peace ritual it can bring fear within three years.
देवतार्चाः प्रनृत्यन्ति वेपन्ते प्रज्वलन्ति च ।
Images of the gods dance, shake, blaze, cry, weep, sweat or laugh.
न दीप्यते चेन्धनवांस्तद्राष्ट्रं पीड्यते नृपैः ।
A fire that will not blaze even with fuel means kings will oppress the land. Fire mantras are the remedy.
अकाले फलिता वृक्षाः क्षीरं रक्तं स्रवन्ति च ।
Trees fruiting out of season or oozing milk or blood are portents. Worship Shiva to calm them.
