If dogs should be found to cry at the gates of houses in a weeping tone, or if jackals should be found to howl facing the sun, or if a dove or owl should enter the palace of the king, or if the cock should be heard to cry soon after sunset, or if the cuckoo should be heard to cry in the Hemanta (cold) season, or if the hawk and the like birds should be found to move in circles from right to left, there would be misery in the land.
