नातिद्रुतं न च विलम्बितं अप्रकम्पम् अध्वस्तमाल्यपिटकऽदिविभूषणं च । उत्थानं इष्टं अशुभं यदतो अन्यथा स्यात् तच्छान्तिभिर्नरपतेः शमयेत्पुरोधाः ॥ ४३-६१ ॥

The raising of the Banner is auspicious if it is neither too slow, nor too fast, not shaky, and if its garlands, decorations and ornaments are not spoiled. If it is otherwise, it forebodes evil, and the royal preceptor should mitigate it through expiatory ceremonies.
