Chapter 7 · Portents
उत्पाताः
न दीप्यते चेन्धनवांस्तद्राष्ट्रं पीड्यते नृपैः ।अग्निवैकृत्यशमनमग्निमन्त्रैश्च भार्गव ॥ १७ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 263, verse 17.
If a fire does not blaze even with fuel, the kingdom is oppressed by kings. The cure for a disorder of fire is the fire mantras, O Bhargava.
Simple meaning: 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.
अतिवृष्टिरनावृष्टिर्दुर्भिक्षायोभयं मतम् ।
Too much rain, no rain, or rain lasting three days out of season can bring famine or fear.
वृष्टिवैकृत्यनाशः स्यात्पर्जन्येन्द्वर्कपूजनात् ।
Worshipping Parjanya, the Moon and the Sun ends rain troubles. Rivers moving away from or toward a city is a portent.
