Chapter 10 · Yatra and Omens
यात्रा शकुनाश्च
मयूरच्छागनकुलचाषपारावताः शुभाः ।दृष्टमात्रेण यात्रायां व्यस्तं सर्वं प्रवेशने ॥ ७०२ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 702.
The peacock, the goat, the mongoose, the blue jay and the pigeon are good just to see on a journey. When coming back in, all of this is the reverse.
Simple meaning: 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.
पतितक्लीबजटिलमत्तवांतौषधादिभिः ।
Some sights are poor signs when leaving: someone drunk, oiled or very ill, or bone, leather or charcoal.
गुडकार्पासलवणारिपुप्रश्नतृणोरगैः ।
More such signs: jaggery, cotton, salt, an enemy's question, a woman without children, a loose-haired or hungry man.
