Sloka 14.—If a jackal standing in a 'Tranquill'
direction and having pleasant voice produces any sound
beginning with अ or the harsh sound 'टाटा', or first sound-
ing like 'टेटेडे' produces 'थेये' sound at the end, it is aus-
picious For all these sounds are born of its heart's joy.
उच्चैर्घोरं वर्णमुच्चार्य पूर्वं पश्चात् क्रोशेत् क्रोष्टुकस्यानुरूपम्।
या सा क्षेमं प्राह वित्तस्य चाप्तिं संयोगं वा प्रोषितेन प्रियेण ॥१५॥
Sloka 15.—If a jackal at first cries producing some
harsh sound in a very high pitch and then howls in its
natural fashion, it indicates preservation and acquisition
of wealth and union with a beloved person who had gone
abroad.
Thus ends the 90th Adhyaya on "The cries of Jackals".
