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

686 बृहत्संहितायाम् [Adh. LXXXVIII. Sl. 25-28
केकेति पूर्णकुटवद्यदि वामपार्श्वे
चाषः करोति विरुतं जयकृत्तदा स्यात् ।
क्रेक्रेति तस्य विरुतं न शिवाय दीप्तं
सन्दर्शनं शुभदमस्य सदैव यातुः ॥२५॥
Sloka 25 - When the blue jay flying to the left of
a person cries as "Keka", or does like the Purna Kuti
(Kiri kiri, kahakaha), it bestows success; but its cry "Kre-
kra" is "Burning" and does not lead to happiness; its
mere sight is always favourable to a traveller.
अण्डीरकष्टीति रुतेन पूर्णष्टिट्टिट्टिशब्देन तु दीप्त उक्तः ।
फेण्टः शुभो दक्षिणभागसंस्थो न वाशितं तस्य कृतो विशेषः ॥२६॥
Sloka 62.-The Andeeraka is said to be 'full' and
'Burning' with the sounds 'Ti' and 'Tittitti' respec-
tively. The Phenta seen to the right is auspicious; and
no importance need be attached to its cry.
श्रीकर्णरुतं तु दक्षिणे क्वक्वकेति शुभं प्रकीर्तितम् ।
मध्यं खलु चिक्कचिकीति यच्छेषं सर्वमुशन्ति निष्फलम् ॥२७॥
Sloka 27 -- The "Kwakwakwa" sound of the "Sri-
karna flying to the right is said to be auspicious; the
'Chik chiki' one is medium in effect, and all other
sounds, they say, are without any good result.
दुर्बलेरपि चिरिल्विरिल्विति प्रोक्तमिष्टफलदं हि वामतः ।
वामतश्च यदि दक्षिणं व्रजेत् कार्यसिद्धिमचिरेण यच्छति ॥२८॥
: Sloka 28.- The sound "Chirilwirilu" of the Durbali
too to the left is said to be of favourable effects; if it
flies from left to right, it gives erelong the success of the
undertaking.
