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

Adh. LXXXVIII. Sl. 21-24.] अष्टाशीतितमोऽध्यायः 685
किलिकिलिकिलि तित्तिरिस्वनः शान्तः शस्तफलोऽन्यथापरः ।
शशको निशि वामपार्श्वगो वाशञ्छस्तफलो निगद्यते ॥२१॥
Sloka 21.—The " Kilikilkili ' sound of the Tittiri is
‘ tranquil ’ and of auspicious results ; otherwise, it is
harmful. A hare crying and running on the left side of
a person at night is said to be of beneficial result.
किलिकिलिविरुतं कपेः प्रदीप्तं न शुभफलप्रदमुद्दिशन्ति यातुः ।
शुभमपि कथयन्ति चुग्लुशब्दं कपिसदृशं च कुलालकुक्कुटस्य ॥
Sloka 22.—The ‘ Kilikili ’ sound of a monkey is
said to be ‘ Burning ’ and does not produce good results
to a traveller ; but the चुग्लु (chuglu) sound is favourable.
The cry of a Kulalakukkuta (potters' cock) is similar in
effect to that of the monkey.
पूर्णाननः कृमिपतङ्गपिपीलिकाद्यै-
श्चाषः प्रदक्षिणमुपैति नरस्य यस्य ।
खे स्वस्तिकं यदि करोत्यथ वा यियासो-
स्तस्यार्थलाभमचिरात्सुमहत्करोति ॥२३॥
Sloka 23.—If a blue jay with its mouth filled with
worms, moths, ants or something like that, flies from
left to right of a person or in the fashion of a Swasthika
figure in the sky, it bestows before long very great pros-
perity on him who is starting on a journey.
चाषस्य काकेन विरुध्यतश्चेत्पराजयो दक्षिणभागगस्य ।
वधः प्रयातस्य तदा नरस्य विपर्यये तस्य जयः प्रदिष्टः ॥२४॥
Sloka 24.—When a blue jay fights with a crow and
is defeated by the latter, the traveller to whose right the
jay flies will suffer death ; otherwise (when it is victorious
and flies to the left), he will be victorious.
