Dandaka 1 (d).—When a dog enters a house with
a dry bone in its mouth, there will be the death of the
head of the family living in it ; when it comes towards a
traveller with a chain, shrivelled creeper, thong or other
means of tying in its mouth, he will suffer imprisonment ;
if it licks his feet or, shaking its ears, gets upon him,
there will be obstacles to him ; when it obstructs him or
scratches its own limbs, he will have impediments ; when
it sleeps with its legs raised, there will be evil to all
persons.
सूर्योदयेऽर्काभिमुखो विरौति ग्रामस्य मध्ये यदि सारमेयः ।
एको यदा वा बहवः समेताः शंसन्ति देशाधिपमन्यमाशु ॥२॥
Sloka 2.—If one or more dogs bark at the Sun
at Sun-rise from the middle of a village, it is an indica-
tion of the immediate change of rulers.
सूर्योन्मुखः श्वानलदिक्स्थितश्च चौरानलत्रासकरोऽचिरेण ।
मध्याह्नकालेऽनलमृत्युशंसी संशोणितः स्यात् कलहोऽपराह्ने ॥३॥
Sloka 3.—If a dog barks standing in the S. E. cor-
ner and facing the Sun, there will erelong be danger
from thieves and fire ; if at mid-day, outbreak of fire
and death (or death from fire) ; if in the afternoon, a
sanguinary feud.
