In the full Narada Purana (Purva Bhaga) this is chapter 56, verse 755.
Some, the verse says, may bring a risk to life. Some may bring fear from enemies. Others may bring fear from within, fame, risk to life, decline, renown, or joy and sorrow.
Simple meaning: Some portents may bring risk to life or fear. Others may bring fame, loss or mixed fortune.
काकानामाकुलं रात्रौ कपोतानां दिवा यदि ।
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.
ऐस्वर्यं धनहानिं च मधुच्छन्नं च वाल्मिकम् ।
Portents can bring power or loss of wealth. An anthill covered with honey is another portent.
