If the rainbow (indrāyudha) should appear when there is no rain, there will be rain, and if while it rains, the rain will cease. If it should appear in the west, there will also be rain.
If at night the rainbow should be seen in the east, kings will suffer; if in the south, the commander-in-chief will die; if in the west, masters will suffer; and if in the north, ministers will suffer.
If, at night, the rainbow should appear white, red, yellow or black, the Brāhmaṇas, the Kṣatriyas, the Vaiśyas and the Śūdras will suffer respectively. If at night the rainbow should appear in particular quarters of the sky, the rulers in those quarters of the Earth will perish.
