श्वभिः शृगालाः सदृशाः फलेन विशेष एषां शिशिरे मदाप्तिः । हूहू रुतान्ते परतश्च टाटा पूर्णः स्वरो अन्ये कथिताः प्रदीप्ताः ॥ ९०-०१ ॥

All that has been said of the dog applies also to the jackal (śivā). There are however a few special points to be noticed. The jackal becomes ruttish in the Śiśira season when its acts signify nothing. If the jackal be seen to cry hū-hū first and ṭā-ṭā next, the cry is benefic. All other cries are malefic.
