are) called Sukla (bright), give fame and prosperity. 



69. If at the extremity of the belly of a horse are two curved 



feathers, that will surely incur death or cause the 

 destruction of its master.

sojournings ; if a feather is on the penis of a horse, it 

 ruins victory and prosperity. 



71. If a feather stands on the lower spine it is the destroyer of 



three things, 142 if the feather JDhumaketu (comet) is on the

 has a feather on the anus, tail and lower spine causes 

 fear of death.
