If ṭākuṭāku be the cry of the crow (vāyasa) there will be fight; if guhu be the cry there will be injury from fire; if kaṭe-kaṭa be the cry, there will be fight; and such sounds as ṭākuli, ciṇṭici, ke ke and purañce indicate bad luck.
If two crows be seen to cry together or to move together, the effects will be the same. All the above remarks apply to omens connected with other birds; and all that has been said about the dog applies also to wild tusked animals.
If the creatures of land and water be seen to change their nature in the rainy season, there will be abundant rain and if they do so in any other season, there will be great fears. If there be no honey in the hives, the country will be wasted; and if bees black at the head be seen to disappear, there will be deaths.
If ants be seen to throw their eggs in water, there will be no rain and if they be seen to ascend a bank and approach the foot of a tree with their eggs, there will be immediate rain.
कार्यं तु मूलशकुने अन्तरजे तदह्नि विन्द्यात्फलं नियतं एवं इमे विचिन्त्याः । प्रारम्भयानसमयेषु तथा प्रवेशे ग्राह्यं क्षुतं न शुभदं क्व चिदप्युशन्ति ॥ ९५-६० ॥
Effects of omens occurring at the commencement of a work will come to pass that same day. Omens shall be observed at the time of commencement of a work, a journey or re-entry into the house after a journey. Sneezing is said never to indicate good luck.
