यात्रा शकुनाश्च
परस्त्री द्विजदेवस्वं तत्स्पृशेद्दिग्गजाश्वकान् ।हन्यात्परपुरप्राप्तो न स्त्रीर्नित्यं निरायुधान् ॥ ७१२ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 712.
Another man's wife, and the wealth of Brahmins and gods: he should not touch these. On reaching the enemy's city, he may seize the elephants and horses. He should never harm women or the unarmed.
Simple meaning: In an enemy city, do not touch another's wife or temple property. Do not harm women or unarmed people.
मद्यमांससुधाधौतवस्त्रशंखवृषध्वजाः ।
Liquor, meat, clean clothes, a conch, a bull, a full pot, jewels, cows and Brahmins are good signs.
भेरीमृदंगपटहघंटावीणादिनिःस्वनाः ।
Drum, bell and veena sounds, and Vedic or blessing sounds, bring success to those who set out.
सर्वदिक्षुक्षुतं नेष्टं गोक्षुतं निधनप्रदम् ।
A sneeze in any direction is not good. A cow's sneeze can mean risk to life. A child's sneeze does not count.
