Skanda Purana — Mahesvara Khanda, Shloka 79
पाषाणैस्ताडितः स्वप्ने सद्यो मृत्युं भजेन्नरः । सूर्योदये यस्य शिवा क्रोशंती याति सम्मुखम्
pāṣāṇaistāḍitaḥ svapne sadyo mṛtyuṃ bhajennaraḥ | sūryodaye yasya śivā krośaṃtī yāti sammukham
स्वप्न में पत्थरों से मारा गया मनुष्य शीघ्र मृत्यु को प्राप्त होता है। यदि सूर्योदय के समय सियारिन रोती हुई सामने आ जाए, तो वह भी मृत्यु का संकेत है।
Lomaharṣaṇa (Sūta) addressing the sages (deduced)
Scene: A sleeping man sees a dream-vision of being pelted with stones; at dawn, a jackal runs straight toward a traveler, crying sharply—an ominous sunrise tableau.
