Poison in collyrium and ornaments; signs shown by birds and animals

Poisoned collyrium causes burning of the eyes, tears and even blindness; poisoned ornaments lose their shine and cause burning and small eruptions where worn. Verse 19 adds that at the sight of poisoned food the chakora bird's eyes change colour, the jīvañjīvaka bird dies, the spotted deer scratches the ground and the peacock suddenly cries out; a footnote says kings should keep such creatures near the kitchen.
