Bhairava, with compassion and clarity, addressed the Goddess, promising to reveal the crest-jewel of purification—an auspicious practice that cleanses both good and evil. He instructed that, before inscribing this sacred rite, one must first remember the Sun, the Goddess herself, the divine host, and Soma, invoking their blessings. He described the ritual: three lines must be drawn, resembling the hue of cow urine or the purity of a flowing stream, or perhaps formed at the place of the directions. These lines serve as the foundation, and upon them, one should carefully count banners and similar symbols in order. Bhairava then named the eight emblems to be known and installed with mantras: the banner, smoke, lion, dog, bull, donkey, elephant, and vulture. Each carries its own significance, and their presence in particular places reveals subtle meanings. When a banner appears in its designated place, it signifies thoughts of sovereignty, wealth, and prosperity. If smoke is found there, it brings contemplation of metals and gain. The lion’s presence promises wealth, while the dog’s presence evokes thoughts of servants and happiness. A bull at the banner’s place foretells position and gain; a donkey, however, warns of suffering and distress. An elephant there brings thoughts of position and victory, while a vulture signals distress and loss of wealth. If a banner is seen in the place of smoke, suffering comes first, followed by wealth. Smoke in the smoke’s place brings quarrels and suffering. A lion in smoke’s place stirs thoughts of the mind and wealth; a dog brings victory and gain. A bull in smoke’s place brings women, horses, and wealth; a donkey brings disease and loss of wealth. An elephant here brings the gain of kingdom and victory, but a vulture brings loss of wealth and kingdom. A banner in the lion’s place indicates the gain of kingdom; smoke there brings acquisition of a maiden and wealth. When the lion is in its own place, victory and reunion with friends are assured. If the lion enters its house, thoughts of women and gain of villages arise. A bull in the lion’s place brings gain of house, field, and wealth; an elephant brings ownership of villages, health, long life, and happiness. A crow in the lion’s place brings a maiden, grain, and virtues. A flag in the dog’s place brings thoughts of position and happiness; smoke brings quarrel and destruction of undertakings. The lion in the dog’s place brings success; the dog in its own place, loss of wealth. A bull in the dog’s place frees the sick from disease; a donkey brings fear of quarrel. An elephant brings union with son and wife; a crow brings suffering and destruction of the family. A flag in the bull’s place brings royal honor and happiness; smoke brings the same. The lion in the bull’s place brings good fortune and wealth; the dog, desire for strength and prosperity. A bull in its own place brings fame, satisfaction, and happiness; a donkey, great gain. An elephant brings union with women and elephants; a crow brings union with place and mind. A flag in the donkey’s place brings disease and sorrow; smoke brings fear from thieves and others. The lion in the donkey’s place brings honor, prosperity, and victory; the dog, distress and loss of wealth. A bull brings happiness and reunion; the donkey in its own place signals suffering and affliction. An elephant brings happiness and sons; a crow brings quarrel and disease. A flag in the elephant’s place brings victory over women, prosperity, and happiness; smoke brings union with wealth and grain. The lion brings victory and accomplishment; the dog, health and abundant happiness. A bull brings royal honor, respect, and wealth; a donkey brings suffering first, then happiness. An elephant in its own place brings prosperity in fields, grain, and comfort; a crow brings abundance of wealth and grain. A flag in the crow’s place destroys undertakings; smoke brings suffering and calamity. The lion brings conflict and distress; the dog, fear of house destruction. A bull brings fear of losing position; a donkey, loss of wealth and defeat. An elephant brings wealth and fame; a crow in its own place brings travel to foreign lands and similar events. Turning to another subject, Bhairava spoke to Devi of the victory of the wind, the signs of triumph in foreign lands, and the four auspicious omens named wind, fire, water, and Indra. The wind, when situated on the left or right, becomes abundant; fire moves upward, and Varuna, representing water, is below. Mahendra, or Indra, is situated in the middle—on the left in the bright fortnight, on the right in the dark, with the rising lasting three days. From the first lunar day onward, if the order is reversed, decline will follow. If the rising aligns with the sun’s path as the moon sets, qualities increase; otherwise, obstacles arise. Sixteen transitions, O beautiful-faced one, are described, both by day and night. Thus, Bhairava revealed the intricate meanings behind these signs and omens, guiding the Goddess—and all who listen—toward understanding the subtle interplay of auspicious and inauspicious forces in the world.
