Knowledge of Time
Yoga Shastra, Fifth Light, Verses 152-163
If one sees a person wearing a red garland around their neck, dressed in red clothes, riding a donkey, and heading south, knowing that they have smeared themselves with lep, then they will die in six months. ||151||
If one hears the sound of a bell suddenly in their body after consuming something, then their death is certain within five months. ||152||
If a chameleon climbs quickly onto someone's head and changes color three times while leaving, then that person will die within five months. ||153||
If someone's nose becomes crooked, their eyes become round, and their ears or other limbs become loose or displaced from their position, then they will die within four months. ||154||
If one sees a black man with a black family and a iron rod in their dream, then they will die within three months. ||155||
If one sees the moon as hot, the sun as cold, a hole in the earth and the sun, their tongue as black, and their face like a red lotus; and if their palate trembles, they have inexplicable sorrow in their mind, their body develops various colors, and they have sudden hiccups from their navel, then they will die within two months. ||156-157||
If someone's tongue cannot taste, their speech stumbles repeatedly, they cannot hear sounds, and their nose cannot smell; if their eyes constantly twitch, they experience confusion even when looking at objects, they see a rainbow at night and a meteor shower during the day; if they cannot see their own reflection in a mirror or water, they see lightning without thunder, and their head suddenly burns; if they see a flock of swans, crows, and peacocks somewhere, and they cannot feel the touch of cold, hot, rough, or soft; then if any one of these signs appears, that person will undoubtedly die within a month. ||158-162||
If someone's breath is cold when they open their mouth and pronounce the letter 'ha', their breath is cold when they blow, their memory and mental faculties decline, and their five limbs become cold, then they will die within ten days. ||163||
