But, if the dog smells on the left side of the man it is good, and if it smells on the right side, it is bad. If the dogs come against the person about to start on a journey, it will cause hindrance to him. If the dog stands blocking his path there will be threat from thieves. If it comes facing him with a piece of bone in its mouth, he will fail to achieve the object of his travel; if it comes biting a cord, the same will be the result. It is auspicious to see dog, which carries a slipper in its mouth or the mouth of which is filled with flesh. Fear will overtake him in front of whom the dog urinates and goes away. But if not a bitch and if, after urination, it goes to an auspicious place, to the shade of an auspicious tree or towards an auspicious thing, then it is a good omen. The same considerations are valid in the case of the jackal etc. - [Previous: c9.820](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.820) - [Next: c9.822](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.822) - [Up: c9](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.821](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.mani-1975.c9.821) · Pramāṇa
