Adh. LXXXVI. Sl. 70-72.] षडशीतितमोऽध्यायः 665
lustrous and looking down, though auspicious, the person
arriving would be a perpetrator of heinous crimes.
Another meaning for the 2nd half :—If the omen be lustrous,
the person arriving would be one of a peaceful temperament ; if
it looks down, he will be a doer of heinous crimes.
विदिक्स्थः शकुनो दीप्तो वामस्थेनानुवाशितः ।
स्त्रियाः सङ्ग्रहणं प्राह तद्दिगाख्यातयोनितः ॥७०॥
Sloka 70.—If the cry of an omen stationed in a
‘ Burning ’ corner be followed by another to its left, it
indicates a man's marital alliance with a woman of the
type indicated by that direction.
This idea may be stretched to the case of a woman also.
शान्तः पञ्चमदीप्तेन विरुतो विजयावहः ।
दिङ्नरागमकारी वा दोषकृत्तद्विपर्यये ॥७१॥
Sloka 71.—The cry of an omen standing in a ‘Tran-
quil ’ quarter being followed by another stationed in a
‘ Burning ’ one that is fifth from the ‘ Tranquil ’ quarter,
bestows victory, or indicates the arrival of the person
assigned to that quarter. If it be otherwise, (one cry in
a ‘ burning ’ quarter followed by another in a ‘ tranquil ’
quarter fifth from it), troubles will arise.
Another meaning is possible ·-An omen standing in a ‘ tran-
quil ’ quarter and crying along with another in another ‘ tranquil ’
quarter which happens to be the fifth from the ‘ Burning ’
quarter at the time, etc. In this case तद्विपर्यये is to be interpreted
as दीप्तः शान्तपञ्चमेन—one staying in a ‘ Burning ’ quarter crying
with another in another quarter which is fifth from one of the
‘ Tranquil ’ quarters.
वामसव्यगतो मध्यः प्राह स्वपरयोर्भयम् ।
मरणं कथयन्त्येते सर्वे समविराविणः ॥७२॥
Sloka 72.—An omen standing between two others
to its left and right with its cry being reciprocated by
