वामावर्तो मलिनकिरणः सस्फुलिङ्गो अल्पमूर्तिः क्षिप्रं नाशं व्रजति विमलस्नेहवर्त्यन्वितो अपि । दीपः पापं कथयति फलं शब्दवान्वेपनश्च व्याकीर्णार्चिर्विशलभमरुद्यश्च नाशं प्रयाति ॥ ८४-०१ ॥

A lamp (dīpa) whose flame turns from right to left, whose light is dim and small, and emits sparks and which dies out even when the oil and the wick are pure, indicates evil. A lamp (dīpa) whose flame is quivering, spreading and attended with noise and which dies out in the absence of the fly or the wind also indicates evil.
