If, on the Rohiṇī-Yoga day, huge clouds, serpent-like in shape, should appear white-black in certain other parts with the lightning for their tongues and if the clouds should be collected and appear twisted together; if they should appear of the colour of the nut of the lotus, if their neighbourhood should be illumined by the light of the Sun, if clouds of various hues should fill the sky or if they should appear of the colour of the bee, of crimson or of the flower of Kiṃśuka ; if the sky should be full of black clouds and if it be marked by lightning or beautiful rainbow thus presenting the appearance of a forest full of elephants, buffaloes and wild fire; if the clouds appear like black mountains or rocks or if their colour should resemble that of the snow, pearls, conch shells and the Moon; or if the clouds should be like elephants with the lightning for the rope of gold, the flying cranes for the tips of their tusks, the rain for their juice (ichor), their sides moving like the sides of the elephants, with the rainbow for their flags of various hues, their dark colour resembling that of the bark of the tamāla tree and the bee; if, immediately before sunrise and after sunset the clouds should appear of the colour of the blue lotus and with the lightning, resemble the dark Viṣṇu dressed in cloths of gold; if there should be heard the sound of the peacock, of Cātaka and of the frog, together with the roar of thunder-clouds filling the whole of the visible sky; if the sky should be overcast by clouds as described above for 3 days or 2 days or a single day, then there will be abundance of rain and mankind will be happy.
