Adhyaya 50 — Mind-Born Progeny, Svayambhuva Manu’s Lineage, and Brahmā’s Ordinance to Duḥsaha (Alakṣmī’s Retinue)
एकच्छागं द्विवालेयं त्रिगवं पञ्चमाहिषम् ।
षडश्वं सप्तमातङ्गं गृहं यक्षाशु शोषय ॥
ekacchāgaṃ dvi-vāleyaṃ tri-gavaṃ pañcamāhiṣam | ṣaḍ-aśvaṃ saptamātaṅgaṃ gṛhaṃ yakṣāśu śoṣaya ||
La maison qui possède une chèvre, deux moutons, trois vaches, la cinquième bête étant un buffle, six chevaux et la septième un éléphant—ô Yakṣa, dessèche (ruine) vite cette maison.
The passage uses stylized numeration of assets to mark a ‘target’ for misfortune—suggesting that certain imbalanced or oddly configured prosperity is unstable or ethically suspect in the text’s omen logic.
Ancillary omen/dharma material.
Enumerated possessions can symbolize attachment and asymmetry; the ‘drying up’ is the karmic image of prāṇa/śrī withdrawing when harmony (sattva) is absent.
