mūṣakān śalabhān dṛṣṭvā prabhūtaṃ kṣud bhayaṃ bhavet.
kāṣṭholmukāsthiśrṛṅgāḍhyāḥ śvāno markaṭavedanāḥ .. 237.9 ..

If a place be infested with too many rats and locusts, disease arises out of hunger or when there are seen charred pieces of wood bones, and dogs with horns, the diseases of the monkeys occur, where crows are seen with grains in their mouths and those who are skilled in the arts of warfare fearlessly subdue all people then a dire famine is sure to occur, and the people are doomed to bear the sufferings of a great war If a monarch chances upon a white crow in course of his amorous pastimes he is either destined to die or his country and wealth are on the verge of ruin—9 11

A Taluqdar of Oudh 1916, The Matsya Puranam
