Adh. XCIII. Sl. 8-11] त्रिनवतितमोऽध्यायः 705
a sweet loud and resonant neigh, or neighs with its mouth
full of grass, the enemy will be killed.
पूर्णपात्रदधिविप्रदेवतागन्धपुष्पफलकाञ्चनादि वा ।
द्रव्यमिष्टमथवा परं भवेद्द्वेषतां यदि समीपतो जयः ॥८॥
Sloka 8.—If in the neighbourhood of a horse that
neighs there is a full pot (one filled with auspicious sub-
stances), curds, a Brahmin, a deity, perfumes, flowers,
fruits, gold, etc. or some other desirable article, there
will be victory.
भक्ष्यपानखलिनाभिनन्दिनः पत्युरौपयिकनन्दिनोऽथवा ।
सव्यपार्श्वगतदृष्टयोऽथवा वाञ्छितार्थफलदास्तुरङ्गमाः ॥९॥
Sloka 9.—Horses that willingly take to their fodder,
drink and bit or other accoutrements, or cast glances at
their right side, bestow all desired objects on their
masters.
वामैश्च पादैरभिताडयन्तो महीं प्रवासाय भवन्ति भर्तुः ।
सन्ध्यासु दीप्तामवलोकयन्तो हेषन्ति चेद्बन्धपराजयाय ॥१०॥
Sloka 10.—If horses stamp the earth with their left
hoofs, their master will go abroad ; if they neigh facing
the 'Burning' quarter at any juncture (morning, evening,
midday or midnight), he will suffer imprisonment or
defeat.
अतीव हेषन्ति किरन्ति बालान् निद्रारताश्च प्रवदन्ति यात्राम् ।
रोमत्यजो दीनखरखराश्च पांसून् ग्रसन्तश्च भयाय दृष्टाः ॥११॥
Sloka 11.—If they neigh too much (too frequently),
shake their tails or are sleepy, their master will go on a
journey ; if they drop hair, have feeble or harsh sound,
or eat the dust of the earth, they indicate danger to
their master.
