If one rides on a horse, an elephant or an ox or climbs a hill or a palace or on a tree bearing white flowers, it is very auspicious—21 It is also equally auspicious to see in dream that a tree or some grass has grown in one's navel, or that he has several arms, heads, or the luxuriance of fruits, or that he is wearing white raiments and withered garlands or that he sees the eclipse of the Sun, the Moon or the stars or that he catches hold of the rainbow, or that he sweeps a floor or so or that the heaven and the earth are under his subjugation, or that he has killed his enemies. The seeing of these dreams brings victory in battle and gambling. When a man dreams that he has eaten raw flesh, fish or rice cooked in milk and sugar, or he sees a flow of blood, or that he is bathing in blood, or that he is drinking wine, blood, or milk, or that he is intwined in the intestines, or sees a clear sky, or the lioness, the she-elephant, and the mare or cow yields milk from their mouths, or that he is getting favours from the Devas, Brâhmaṇas or his guru or spiritual teacher, all these are auspicious dreams. When a man dreams that he is being anointed with waters from the cow's horns or moon, he will have chance of getting a kingdom When a man dreams that he is being installed in a throne or that he is beheaded, or that he is burnt in a fire and dead, or that his house or person is on fire, or that he has been blessed with the regalia of kingship, or that he is hearing the playing of guitar these also indicate the getting of sovereignty The dream of crossing the water by swimming, or that he is crossing an uneven country, or that a mare, a cow or a she elephant is giving birth in his house, or that he is riding on horses, these are auspicious, or that he is weeping, or that he has obtained good women or that he is embracing beautiful women, or that he is fettered or that he is besmeared with filth, or is being visited by a living king or friends or the sight of the Devas or crystal waters, these are auspicious.—22 34
