662 बृहत्संहितायाम् [Adh. LXXXVI. Sl. 58-61.
Sloka 57.—Omens that being situate in a 'Burning'
quarter move from right to left, presage peril. An omen
in a 'burning' direction at the commencement of an
undertaking likewise reveals danger to it in the middle of
the year.
तिथिवार्यकर्भस्थानचेष्टा दीप्ता यथाक्रमम् ।
धनसैन्यबलाङ्गेष्टकर्मणां स्युर्भयङ्कराः ॥५८॥
Sloka 58.—Omens that are 'blasted' by a lunar day,
wind, the Sun, lunar mansion, position and movements,
are respectively dangerous to wealth, army, strength,
limb, desired object (or beloved person) and work.
जीमूतध्वनिदीप्तेषु भयं भवति मारुतात् ।
उभयोः सन्ध्ययोर्दीप्ताः शस्त्रोद्भवभयङ्कराः ॥५९॥
Sloka 59.—Omens situate in the 'Burning' direc-
tion during peals of thunder foretell danger from wind;
while during the two twilights, they indicate peril arising
from weapons.
The commentator interprets the compound जीमूतध्वनिदीप्तेषु as
blasted by peals of thunder.'
चितिकेशकपालेषु मृत्युबन्धवधप्रदाः।
कण्टकीकाष्ठभस्मस्थाः कलहायासदुःखदाः ॥६०॥
अप्रसिद्धिं भयं वापि निःसाराश्मव्यवस्थिताः ।
कुर्वन्ति शकुना दीप्ताः शान्ता याप्यफलास्तु ते ॥६१॥
Slokas 60-61.—Omens stationed on funeral pyres,
hair, or skulls (or potsherds) bring about death, imprison-
ment or murder respectively; those on thorns, firewood
or ashes, quarrel, weariness or grief respectively; those
that are 'blasted' and stationed on hollow objects or
stones, failure of an undertaking or danger respectively;
