696 वृहत्संहितायाम् [Adh. LXXXIX. Sl. 13-16.
wealth ; if the slippers of one in his own place, an
immediate journey.
उभयोरपि जिघ्रणे हि बाह्वोर्विज्ञेयो रिपुचौरसम्प्रयोगः ।
अथ भस्मनि गोपयीत भक्ष्यान्मांसास्थीनि च शीघ्रमग्निकोपः ॥१३॥
Sloka 13.—If it smells both the arms, it would
bring about the person's association with his enemies and
thieves ; it it hide eatables, flesh or bones inside ashes,
there would be shortly an out-break of fire.
ग्रामे भषित्वा च बहिः श्मशाने भषन्ति चेदुत्तमपुंविनाशः ।
यियासतश्चाभिमुखो विरौति यदा तदा श्वा निरुणद्धि यात्राम् ॥
Sloka 14.—When dogs after barking in the village
go out to the cemetery and bark there, a prominent per-
son of the village will die. When a dog barks facing a
person desiring to undertake a journey, it forbids the
journey.
उकारवर्णे विरुतेऽर्थसिद्धिारोकारवर्णेन च वामपार्श्वे ।
व्याक्षेपमौकाररुतेन विन्द्यान्निषेधकृत्सर्व्रुतैश्च पश्चात् ॥१५॥
Sloka 15.—When a dog howls producing the sound
of " U " or " O " to the left of a traveller, he will
achieve his objects (or get wealth); the sound of "Au"
indicates distress ; and all kinds of cries behind him forbid
the journey.
खंखेति चोच्चैश्च मुहुर्मुहुर्ये रुवन्ति दण्डैरिव ताड्यमानाः । '
श्वानोऽभिधावन्ति च मण्डलेन ते शून्यतां मृत्युभयं च कुर्युः ॥१६॥
Sloka 16.—The dogs that produce repeatedly the
sound " Kham kham " in a loud voice as if they are
beaten with clubs, or run in a circular group towards a
traveller indicate barrenness of his journey and fear of
death.
