The wise opine that there is great danger in store for the king if a carnivorous bird, owl, dove, crow, or vulture sits on the Banner. If it be a blue jay, it is dangerous to the prince; an eagle sitting on it will prove harmful to the king’s eyes. The king will die if the umbrella on the Banner breaks or falls down. If honeybees cling to it, there will be increase of thieves; a meteor falling on it will kill the royal priest; a lightning augurs the queen’s death. The fall of a flag on it denotes the queen’s exit, while that of an ornament augurs drought. If the Banner should break in the middle, top and bottom, the ministers, king and citizens respectively will meet with their end. When the Banner is covered with smoke, there is danger from fire; when with darkness, mental aberration will be the result. If the figures of snakes fall or break, the minister will come to grief. If portents are sighted in the north and other quarters, Brāhmaṇas and classes in order will suffer. If any of the minor standards, called Indra’s Daughters’, breaks, courtezans will be killed. Should the ropes snap, there would be trouble to children. If the prop at the bottom breaks, the king’s mother will be troubled. Whatever good or bad is done by boys or actors (or wandering ministrels) at the time will have corresponding effects on the people.
