237.2

garga uvāca.
praviśanti yadā grāmamāraṇyā mṛgapakṣiṇaḥ.
araṇyaṃ yānti vā grāmyāḥ sthalaṃ yānti jalodbhavāḥ .. 237.1 ..

Garga said :—The emigration of wild deer and jackals from the jungles into the town is a bad omen, so is the emigration of village birds and deer from village into the jungles. The inauspicious howling of jackals fearlessly in front of a royal mansion and the entrance gate of the city is most unlucky. When the land animals go to water and when the aquatic animals come over to land, the time is very inauspicious.—1-2.
