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 ||
山羊一頭、羊二頭、牛三頭、第五の獣として水牛、馬六頭、そして第七として象を有する家よ――おおヤクシャよ、速やかにその家を枯らし(滅ぼし)たまえ。
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.
