यात्रा शकुनाश्च
उत्पातेषु त्रिविधेषु सप्तरात्रं तु न व्रजेत् ।रत्नाकुड्यशिवाकाककपोतानां गिरस्तथा ॥ ६९८ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 698.
In the three kinds of utpata (strange omen in nature), he should not go for seven nights. Likewise the calls of the ratnakudya, the jackal, the crow and the pigeon.
Simple meaning: After unseasonal storms or other strange omens, wait seven nights before leaving.
वाराहशशगोधास्तु सर्पाणां कीर्तनं शुभम् ।
Naming a boar, hare, iguana or snake is good; hearing or seeing them is not. Monkey and bear: the reverse.
मयूरच्छागनकुलचाषपारावताः शुभाः ।
Peacock, goat, mongoose, blue jay and pigeon are good to see when leaving. On entering, it is the reverse.
यात्रासिद्धिर्भवेद्दृष्टे शवेरोदनवर्जिते ।
Seeing a corpse without weeping helps a journey. A weeping funeral seen on coming home can point to a risk of death.
