If one sees the holy cities of Prayaga Prayaga: (प्रयाग), the modern city of Prayagraj (Allahabad), where the Ganges and Yamuna rivers meet; a site of immense spiritual purity and Gaya Gaya: (गया), a sacred city in Bihar where pilgrims perform rites for their ancestors in a clear dream, his ancestors original: "pitaras," referring to the spirits of departed forefathers are liberated and cross over to the other side. 61

Whether a dream is seen or its words are heard, one should carefully calculate the sequence of events and their meaning; one should not interpret it in any other way. 62

If the deities in a dream are dancing, laughing, or crying, or if they are clapping their hands or striking out, it should be understood that the gods are indicating a specific fate through that person. 63

Seeing an ornamental gateway original: "toraṇa," a ceremonial archway, a residence, a conch shell, a raft, pearls, jasmine buds, or a wood-apple tree original: "bilva," a tree sacred to Shiva—one ... acquires wealth or success?
