Adhyaya 51 — Yaksha Injunctions: Graha-Children and Female Spirits Causing Domestic and Ritual Disruptions
स्वप्नेऽपि हि कपोतस्य दर्शनं न प्रशस्यते ।
षडपत्यानि कथ्यन्ते गण्डप्रान्तरतिस्तथा ॥
svapne 'pi hi kapotasya darśanaṃ na praśasyate | ṣaḍapatyāni kathyante gaṇḍaprāntaratīs tathā ||
स्वप्नातही कबुतर दिसणे शुभ मानले जात नाही. ‘सहा अपत्ये’ हे निमित्त आणि गाल/कपाळाच्या कडेवरील रती (गण्ड-प्रान्त-रति) हेही अशुभ लक्षण म्हणून सांगितले आहे।

The text treats certain dream-images and behavioral tendencies as diagnostic signs: dharma literature often reads the psyche and surroundings as mirrors of impending fortune or misfortune, encouraging vigilance and self-restraint.
It is dharma/ācāra and śakuna instruction, outside the main pañcalakṣaṇa framework.
Dream-symbols can be interpreted as subconscious signals: ‘inauspicious sight’ points to inner disharmony; the counsel is to correct conduct and perform remedies rather than fatalism.
