यात्रा शकुनाश्च
असमाप्ते न कुर्वीत यात्रां मर्त्यो जिजीविषुः ।महिषोंदुरयोर्युद्धे कलत्रकलहार्तवे ॥ ६७८ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 678.
For his own safety, a man should not start a journey while those are unfinished. Also not when a buffalo and a rat are fighting. Also not in a quarrel with his wife, or when she has her period.
Simple meaning: Do not set out during a buffalo-rat fight, a quarrel with your wife or her period.
वस्त्रादेः स्खलिते क्रोधे दुरुक्ते न व्रजेन्नृपः ।
Do not set out after a slip, in anger or after harsh words. Each direction has its food.
प्रागादिक्रमशो भुक्त्वा यातिं राजा जयत्यरीन् ।
Eating the food for his direction, the king wins. A food for each weekday begins: rice in milk, milk.
क्षीरं तिलोदनं भुक्त्वा भानुवारादिषु क्रमात् ।
Each weekday from Sunday has its food. Then a food for each star begins: beans, sesame rice, curd, honey, ghee.
