“When the wind as it strikes one cuts one’s vitals, and when one feels no delight from the touch of drops of water, his death has arrived. Whoever sits on a bear, a monkey or a carriage, and goes singing towards the south in his sleep, for him death brooks no delay. He whom a woman clad in red or black raiment, and singing and laughing, carries off to the south in his sleep, he will live no longer. He who sees a single powerful naked mendicant laughing and leaping in his sleep may find death impending. The man, who sees himself sunk to the crown of his head in a sea of mud in his sleep, dies at once. And he, who sees charcoal amidst the hair of the head, or ashes or a waterless river issuing from a serpent, in his sleep, will after ten days die on the eleventh day. He, who in his sleep is beaten with stones by formidable and hideous black men who raise their weapons aloft, may die at once. He, in front of whom a she-jackal runs howling at sUnrise, whether meeting him or passing him, dies at once. He, whose heart is possessed with hunger immediately after he has eaten, and whose teeth chatter, has without doubt[3] reached the end of his life. He who does not perceive the smell of a lamp, and who is terrified in the day as well as at night, and who does not see himself reflected in another’s eyes, lives no longer. He, who has seen both a rainbow at midnight and all the planets in the day-time, should as a sensible man deem his life consumed away. He, whose nose becomes crooked, and whose ears bend down or stick up, and whose left eye waters, has lost his life. When his face becomes reddish, or his tongue black, a wise man should know that his death is impending. And one should know that he, who in his sleep journeys to the south on a camel, or an ass, or a carriage, will die outright. He, who cannot hear his own murmuring when he shuts his ears, and who cannot see the light with his eyes, lives indeed no longer. He over whom a door is closed after he has fallen into a pit, and who cannot rise up from the hole, in his sleep, his life ends thereat. Sight directed upwards and unsteady,[4] and blood-shot and rolling around, and warmth in the mouth, and dryness at the navel prognosticate a new body for men. He who in his sleep may enter the fire, and not come out therefrom, or if he similarly enters water, his life ends thereat. The man who is attacked by evil spirits at night or by day, without doubt meets death at the end of the seventh night. One should pronounce that death is impending over the man who sees his own clean white clothing red or black.
