716 बृहत्संहितायाम् [Adh. XCV. Sl. 27-30. Sloka 26.—If a crow caws at first to the left and then to the right of a traveller, his wealth will be stolen ; if it is contrariwise, he will get wealth. यदि वाम एव विरुवन् मुहुर्मुहुर्यायिनोऽनुलोमगतिः । अर्थस्य भवति सिद्ध्यै प्राच्यानां दक्षिणश्चैवम् ॥२७॥ Sloka 27.—If a crow caws constantly to the left of a traveller and flies in the same direction, his wealth will increase ; this will happen if it caws even to the right in the case of people of the Eastern countries. वामः प्रतिलोमगतिर्विरुवन् गमनस्य विघ्नकृद्भवति । तत्रस्थस्यैव फलं कथयति तद्वाञ्छितं गमने ॥२८॥ Sloka 28.—If a crow caws to the left of a traveller and flies in the opposite direction, his journey will be hindered. The desired object of a person's journey is indicated by the crow before he sets out. दक्षिणविरुतं कृत्वा वामो विरुयाद्यथेप्सितावाप्तिः । प्रतिवाश्य पुरो यायाद् द्रुतमत्यर्थागमो भवति ॥२९॥ Sloka 29.—If a crow caws at first to the right and then to the left of a person, he will obtain his desires; if it cries and flies fast in front of him, he will quickly gain wealth. प्रतिवाश्य पृष्ठतो दक्षिणेन यायाद् द्रुतं क्षतजकारी । एकचरणोऽर्कमीक्षन् विरुवंश्च पुरो रुधिरहेतुः ॥३०॥ Sloka 30.—If it flies fast to the right of a person, having at first cawed behind him, or if it caws in front looking at the Sun and standing on one leg alone, he will soon bleed.
