बृहत्संहिता (आचार्य वराहमिहिर - स्थापत्य, खगोल, मौसम व जल विज्ञान)

Adh. LXXXVI. Sl. 54-57.] षडशीतितमोऽध्यायः 661 Sloka 53.—Some hold that an "omen gate" is caused by birds or beasts of the same species, standing on both sides of a traveller and having 'tranquil' move- ments and cries. By 'Tranquil' is meant the opposite of 'blasted' referred to in Sloka 15, supra in क्रियादीप्त. विसर्जयति यद्येक एकश्च प्रतिषेधति । सविरोधोऽशुभो यातुर्ग्राह्यो तु बलवत्तरः ॥५४॥ Sloka 54—When one omen speaks favourably and another contrariwise, 'the mutual contradiction' that is engendered is harmful to a traveller, and the stronger of the two is to be adopted. पूर्वं प्रावेशिको भूत्वा पुनः प्रास्थानिको भवेत् । सुखेन सिद्धिमाचष्टे प्रवेशे तद्विपर्ययात् ॥५५॥ Sloka 55.—Should an omen become at first favoura- ble for an ingress and then for a journey, it would be an indication of the easy accomplishment of the traveller's object, while the reverse is to be taken in the case of an ingress. If the omen indicates success at first for a journey and for an ingress, then it is good for the latter. विसृज्य शकुनः पूर्वं स एव निरुणद्धि चेत् । त्र्याहं यातुर्हरेर्मृत्युं डमरं रोगमेव वा ॥५६॥ Sloka 56.—If one and the same omen tells success of a journey and then forbids it, it is an indication of the traveller's death at the hands of his enemy, of an armed feud, or of disease. अपसव्यास्तु शकुना दीप्ता भयवेदिनः । आरम्भे शकुनो दीप्तो वर्षान्तस्तद्भयङ्करः ॥५७॥
