बृहत्संहिता (आचार्य वराहमिहिर - स्थापत्य, खगोल, मौसम व जल विज्ञान)

Adh. LXXXVI. Sl. 62-66] षडशीतितमोऽध्यायः 663
but if they are ‘tranquil’, their evil effects will be
negligible.
असिद्धिसिद्धिदौ ज्ञेयौ निर्हाराहारकारिणौ ।
स्थानाद्रुवन् व्रजेद्यात्रां शंसते त्वन्यथागमम् ॥६२॥
Sloka 62.—Omens that pass excreta or eat their
food should be understood to cause the failure or fulfil-
ment of their undertakings respectively. If one goes
away after crying from its place, it indicates a journey;
if it comes to its place crying, some·body's arrival.
कलहः खरदीप्तेषु स्थानदीप्तेषु विग्रहः ।
उच्चमादौ स्वरं कृत्वा नीचं पश्चाच्च दोषकृत् ॥६३॥
Sloka 63.—Omens that have a ‘blasted’ voice and
position cause in order quarrel and battle; while those
that after crying aloud produce a low sound, cause trouble.
एकस्थाने रुवन् दीप्तः सप्ताहाद् ग्रामघातकः ।
पुरदेशनरेन्द्राणामृत्वर्धायनवत्सरात् ॥६४॥
Sloka 64.—If ‘blasted’ omen stands crying in the
same place (for a whole day), the village will be des-
troyed in a week; the city, in two months; and the King,
in a year.
सर्वे दुर्भिक्षकर्तारः स्वजातिपिशिताशिनः ।
सर्पमूषकमार्जारपृथुलोमविवर्जिताः ॥६५॥
Sloka 65.—All omens except snakes, rats, cats and
fishes, eating the meat of their own species, cause famine.
Similarly creatures mating those of a different class produce
the same effect:
परयोनिषु गच्छन्तो मैथुनं देशनाशनाः ।
अन्यत्र वेसरोत्पत्तेर्नॄणां चाजातिमैथुनात् ॥६६॥
