Chapter 11 · Rain, Kurma Chakra, Utpata
वृष्टिः कूर्मचक्रम् उत्पाताश्च
काकानामाकुलं रात्रौ कपोतानां दिवा यदि ।अकाले पुष्पिता वृक्षा दृश्यंते फलिता यदि ॥ १५३ ॥
In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 753.
Crows crowd together at night, or pigeons by day. Trees are seen flowering or fruiting out of season.
Simple meaning: Crows crowding at night, pigeons by day, and trees flowering or fruiting out of season are portents.
कार्यं तच्छेदनं तत्र ततः शांतिर्मनीषिभिः ।
Such a tree should be cut, and then a peace ritual done. Such portents can bring harm to a place.
केचिन्मृत्युप्रदाः केचिच्छत्रुभ्यश्च भयप्रदाः ।
Some portents may bring risk to life or fear. Others may bring fame, loss or mixed fortune.
ऐस्वर्यं धनहानिं च मधुच्छन्नं च वाल्मिकम् ।
Portents can bring power or loss of wealth. An anthill covered with honey is another portent.
