शस्ता शान्तिद्विजमृगघुष्टा सन्ध्या स्निग्धा मृदुपवना च । पांशुध्वस्ता जनपदनाशं धत्ते रूक्षा रुधिरनिभा वा ॥ ४७-२७ ॥

sanskrit

If birds and animals should cry aloud in the direction opposite to the Sun, and if the twilight sky should be of bright appearance and rendered agreeable by gentle winds, there would be prosperity in the land. If on the other hand, such twilight sky should be covered with dust or of the colour of the blood or of disagreeable appearance, the country would suffer miseries.

यद्विस्तरेण कथितं मुनिभिस्तदस्मिन् सर्वं मया निगदितं पुनरुक्तवर्जम् । श्रुत्वा अपि कोकिलरुतं बलिभुग्विरौति यत्तत्स्वभावकृतं अस्य पिकं न जेतुम् ॥ ४७-२८ ॥

sanskrit

Of the many truths stated by Ṛṣis in this chapter entitled Mayūra Citraka. I have rejected those which were mere repetitions and stated the rest. Even after hearing the musical note of the cuckoo, the crow is not mute and when it caws, it is not with a view to imitate or excel the cuckoo.
