ते ग्राम्यसत्त्वैरनुवाश्यमाना भयाय रोधाय भवन्ति वन्यैः । द्वाभ्यां अपि प्रत्यनुवाशितास्ते वन्दि ग्रहायै च मृगा रुवन्ति ॥ ९१-०२ ॥
If, when wild animals enter the limits of towns, their cry is responded to by the cry of country animals, villages and towns will suffer miseries; if their cry is responded to by the cry of other wild animals (mṛga), towns and villages will be besieged; but if such cry is responded to by both wild and country animals, women will be put into prison by the enemy.
If wild animals (mṛga) be found at the gates of towns, such towns will be besieged by the enemy; if they be found to enter the towns, such town will meet with rain; if they be found to give birth to their young, the people will suffer miseries; if the animals be found to die within towns, there will be fears of various kinds, but if they enter the houses, there will be imprisonment.
