Dear Florent,

The term "possessor of" sounds a little awkward in English. How about
instead:
The peacock will be afraid of the one bearing an umbrella.
Also note, that Buddhadatta rendering of chatta as "umbrella" may not
be entirely accurate.
Quoting from the PED:
Chatta (p. 274) (nt.) [late Vedic chattra=*chad--tra, covering to
chad, see chādati] a sunshade ("parasol" would be misleading. The
handle of a chatta is affixed at the circumference, not at the centre
as it is in a parasol), a canopy.
Se then:
The peacock will be afraid of the one bearing a sunshade.

This too sounds awkward to my ears. How about:
You will look at the moon with those wearing garlands.
With metta,
John
