ऐशानस्यासन्ने चित्राम्बरग्चित्रकृद्भयं प्रोक्तम् ।

ऐशाने त्वग्निग्भयं दूषणमप्युत्तमस्त्रीणाम् ॥ ८६.४०॥

प्राक्तस्यैवासन्ने दुःखोत्पत्तिः स्त्रिया विनाशश्च ।

Crow Mouth Predictions

40. If the crow be seen to cry holding in his mouth a string, a bone, a piece of wood, a thorn or any weak substance, there will respectively be suffering from a snake, from diseases, from tusked animals, thieves, creepers and fire.

41. If the crow be seen to cry holding in its mouth a white flower, an impure substance or flesh, there will be gain of wealth to the traveller: if it be seen to cry with its head raised and striking its wings on its sides, there will be obstacles in the way.

42. If the crow be seen to cry holding in its mouth a string, a strap of leather, or a twining creeper, there will be imprisonment and if it be seen to cry from a stone, there will be a meeting with a new traveller who has suffered much from foot-journey.

43. If crows be seen to exchange food with one another, there will be great happiness, if the male and the female crows be heard to cry together, there will be the gain of a woman.

44. If the crow (vāyasa) be seen to cry from a well-filled water pot on the head of a woman, there will be the gain of a woman or wealth; if it be seen to strike the pot with its feet, the person’s son will meet with danger; and if it be seen to pass excrement into the pot, there will be the gain of meals.

Flapping Wings means Success

45. If, when an army begins to encamp in a place, the crow be seen to cry striking its wings on its sides, the army will meet with success in some other place; and if it be seen to cry without moving its wings, there will be only fear and nothing serious will happen.

46. If the crow, accompanied by a vulture and a heron, be seen to enter an army without fighting, there will be good luck and if they happen to be at strife, there will be fight between the enemies.

47. If the crow be seen to cry from the back of a pig, there will be imprisonment; if it be seen to cry from the backs of two pigs covered with mire, there will be the gain of wealth; if from the back of an ass or a camel, there will be prosperity. According to some, if the crow be seen to cry from the back of an ass, there will be imprisonment.

48. If the crow (vāyasa) be seen to cry from the back of a horse, there will be gain of a vehicle; if it be seen to cry following another crow, there will be blood-shed. The same remarks apply to other birds.

[Note—These must be carnivorous birds such as the owl, the vulture, the hawk and the like.]

49. The crow in the several points of the compass indicates the same effects as those described for other ominous birds.

Ka, Ka, Ka, Ka, Meaning

50. If the crow be heard to cry kā from its nest, the cry signifies nothing; but if it be heard to cry kava there will be hilarity of mind: and if ka be the cry, there will be a meeting with an intimate friend.

51. If kara be the cry of the crow, there will be quarrel; if kuru-kuru be the cry there will be joy; if kaṭa-kaṭa be the cry there will be gain of rice prepared in curdled milk; if ke ke or ku ku be the cry, there will be gain of wealth to the traveller.

52. If khare-khare be the cry of the crow, there will be a meeting with a foot passenger. If kha-kha be the cry, the traveller will meet with death; if khala-khala be the cry there will be an obstacle to journey and rain that same day.

53. If ka ka be the cry of the crow, there will be obstacles; if kākaṭī be the cry there will be injury to meals; if kava-kava be the cry there will be joy; and if kagāku be the cry there will be imprisonment.

Common Predictions for all Birds

57. If two crows be seen to cry together or to move together, the effects will be the same. All the above remarks apply to omens connected with other birds; and all that has been said about the dog applies also to wild tusked animals.

58. If the creatures of land and water be seen to change their nature in the rainy season, there will be abundant rain and if they do so in any other season, there will be great fears. If there be no honey in the hives, the country will be wasted; and if bees black at the head be seen to disappear, there will be deaths.

Ants and Rains

59. If ants be seen to throw their eggs in water, there will be no rain and if they be seen to ascend a bank and approach the foot of a tree with their eggs, there will be immediate rain.

60. Effects of omens occurring at the commencement of a work will come to pass that same day. Omens shall be observed at the time of commencement of a work, a journey or re-entry into the house after a journey. Sneezing is said never to indicate good luck.

61. The learned in the science say that a king who observes omens carefully and regulates his acts according to their indications, enjoys prosperity and he will succeed in all his attempts. He will successfully afford protection to his subjects and that he will gain all his objects and will be in the enjoyment of good health.

To defeat Bad Omens, Do Pranayama

62. According to some, the cry of a creature beyond the distance of a krośa signifies nothing. If a person meets with a bad omen once, the evils may be escaped by performing the prāṇāyāma 11 times; if he meets with it a second time, he shall perform the prānāyāma 16 times; and if he meets with a bad omen a third time, he shall return from his journey.

[Note—a Krośa = the range of the voice in calling or halloing.]
