The dog (śvan) which has five nails in each of its hind legs, three in the left front leg, and six in the right front leg, whose lips and the tip of whose nose are red, whose gait is like that of the lion, which walks smelling the ground, and whose tail is hairy, eyes like stars, ears hanging and soft, will before long make his master exceedingly wealthy.
