यात्रा शकुनाश्च
पतितक्लीबजटिलमत्तवांतौषधादिभिः ।अभ्यक्तवसास्थिचर्मांगारदारुणरोगिभिः ॥ ७०४ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 704.
Seeing at departure: a person put out of his community, a person of the third gender. A man with matted hair, someone drunk, one who has vomited. Medicines and the like. People with oiled bodies. Fat, bone, leather, charcoal. People who are very ill.
Simple meaning: 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.
प्रयाणसमये नग्नैर्दृष्टैः सिद्धिर्न जायते ।
Seeing such things or naked people when leaving brings no success. A blazing fire and fine horses are good.
गंधपुष्पाक्षतच्छत्रचामरांदोलिकं नृपः ।
Scent, flowers, rice grains, an umbrella, a king, sweets, honey, ghee and curd are good to see when leaving.
