Kakandi-There are two opinions about this place. Some Jain travelers of the eighteenth century say that it is about ten miles away from Kshatriyakund. Other travelers of the same period vaguely say that it is roughly 40 miles east of Bihar. Other sources mention of two places bearing the same name. One is said to be near Kshatriyakund and the other about 50 miles east of Gorakhpur. According to Yatra Darpan, the Kakandi near Gorakhpur should be accepted as the pilgrimage center. Its modern name is Khakhunda and it is one and a half miles away from Nonwar railway station.
Shakun-omen-That which gives indication of good or bad happenings of the future is 5 called omen (Shakun). It originated from the signs and indications preceding natural
happenings, and gradually developed into a scripture or subject. All animals are endowed with some unique capacities human beings lack. With the help of this sixth sense, animals become aware of many happenings in advance, and they express these premonitions by certain gestures or activities. As the subject of augury evolved, all these indication were included in it. With passage of time a horde of misconceptions and superstitions also got included in this ever-expanding subject. Leaving aside the question of authenticity, the subject became popular because man is curious about his future and when he gets an inkling of the future he gets a chance to try and avoid the unfavourable and go along the favourable. This subject has always been popular throughout the world in some form or another especially during the period when even simple activities like covering distances were fogged with the unknown and unforeseen.
Jain literature as well as other Indian literature, abounds in references to this subject and at many places examines it in great detail. A few popular omens are-good omens at the » time of moving out : whinnying of horses, cooing of dancing pea-cock, trumpeting of elephant
on the right, braying of donkey after turning towards its right, gentle blowing of fragrant 15 wind, etc. Bad omens at the time of moving out---meeting a man wearing dirty clothes,
meeting a person carrying a bundle of wood, meeting a person with oil rubbed all over his K body, meeting a disfigured person like a dwarf or hunchback, etc.
