Summary of article contents:
This paper examines three versions of crow omens composed in Sanskrit verses of 补苍耻峁ａ弓耻产丑 metre from two different sources, one Brahmanic, 骋腻谤驳墨测补箩测辞迟颈峁, and the other Buddhist, 艢腻谤诲奴濒补办补谤峁嚹乿补诲补苍补. Their similarities in language and content leave little doubt that they had a common source that was probably located in the northwest of the Indian sub-continent sometime around the beginning of the Common Era.
