Adhyaya 51 — Yaksha Injunctions: Graha-Children and Female Spirits Causing Domestic and Ritual Disruptions
शुभाशुभं समाचष्टे कुशैस्तस्याङ्गताडनम् ।
काकादिपक्षिसंस्थो 'न्यः श्वादेरङ्गगतो 'पि वा ॥
śubhāśubhaṃ samācaṣṭe kuśais tasyāṅga-tāḍanam | kākādi-pakṣi-saṃstho 'nyaḥ śvāder aṅga-gato 'pi vā ||
कुशा गवताने शरीरावर आघात होणे शुभ-अशुभाचे सूचक आहे. आणखी एक अपशकुन कावळ्यासारख्या पक्ष्यांत दिसतो; तसेच कुत्रा इत्यादींचा शरीराला स्पर्श होणेही लक्षण मानले आहे.

Kuśa is a purifier in Vedic rites; using it diagnostically implies that ritual purity and attentiveness can ‘read’ the subtle environment. Birds/animals symbolize instinctive nature reflecting unseen atmospheric (adhidaivika) shifts.
