अपसव्या मृगाः सर्वे धार्तराष्ट्रस्य केशव ॥
वाचश् चाप्य् अशरीरिण्यस् तत् पराभवलक्षणम् ॥
मयूराः पुष्पशकुना हंसाः सारसचातकाः ॥
जीवं जीवकसंघाश् चाप्य् अनुगच्छन्ति पाण्डवान् ॥
गृध्राः काका बडाः श्येना यातुधानाः शलावृकाः ॥
मक्षिकाणां च संघाता अनुगच्छन्ति कौरवान् ॥
धार्तराष्ट्रस्य सैन्येषु भेरीणां नास्ति निस्वनः ॥
अनाहताः पाण्डवानां नदन्ति पटहाः किल ॥
उदपानाश् च नर्दन्ति यथा गोवृषभास् तथा ॥
धार्तराष्ट्रस्य सैन्येषु तत् पराभवलक्षणम् ॥

"All the beasts pass on the left of the son of Dhritarashtra, O Keshava, and disembodied voices are heard: this is a sign of defeat. Peacocks, bright-plumed birds, swans, cranes, chatakas, and flocks of jivaka birds follow the Pandavas; vultures, crows, birds of prey, hawks, yatudhanas, jackals, and swarms of flies follow the Kauravas. In the armies of the son of Dhritarashtra no sound of the bheri drums is heard, while among the Pandavas the unstruck patahaa drums resound of themselves. The wells in the armies of the son of Dhritarashtra bellow like bulls; this is a sign of defeat."
