Adh. LXXXVI. Sl. 62-66] षडशीतितमोऽध्यायः 663 but if they are ‘tranquil’, their evil effects will be negligible. असिद्धिसिद्धिदौ ज्ञेयौ निर्हाराहारकारिणौ । स्थानाद्रुवन् व्रजेद्यात्रां शंसते त्वन्यथागमम् ॥६२॥ Sloka 62.—Omens that pass excreta or eat their food should be understood to cause the failure or fulfil- ment of their undertakings respectively. If one goes away after crying from its place, it indicates a journey; if it comes to its place crying, some·body's arrival. कलहः खरदीप्तेषु स्थानदीप्तेषु विग्रहः । उच्चमादौ स्वरं कृत्वा नीचं पश्चाच्च दोषकृत् ॥६३॥ Sloka 63.—Omens that have a ‘blasted’ voice and position cause in order quarrel and battle; while those that after crying aloud produce a low sound, cause trouble. एकस्थाने रुवन् दीप्तः सप्ताहाद् ग्रामघातकः । पुरदेशनरेन्द्राणामृत्वर्धायनवत्सरात् ॥६४॥ Sloka 64.—If ‘blasted’ omen stands crying in the same place (for a whole day), the village will be des- troyed in a week; the city, in two months; and the King, in a year. सर्वे दुर्भिक्षकर्तारः स्वजातिपिशिताशिनः । सर्पमूषकमार्जारपृथुलोमविवर्जिताः ॥६५॥ Sloka 65.—All omens except snakes, rats, cats and fishes, eating the meat of their own species, cause famine. Similarly creatures mating those of a different class produce the same effect: परयोनिषु गच्छन्तो मैथुनं देशनाशनाः । अन्यत्र वेसरोत्पत्तेर्नॄणां चाजातिमैथुनात् ॥६६॥
