Functions ap- propriate to the deities must be performed on their res- pective days. These are further divided into five classes of 3 days each. 1, 6 and 11—Nandas ; 2, 7 and 12— Bhadras ; 3, 8 and 13—Jayas ; 4, 9 and 14—Rikthas ; and 5, 10 and 15—Purnas. Works that are prescribed for the several asterisms should be done on the lunar days that are owned by the same deities. In the same way, they should be done with reference to the Karanas and Muhurthas by the identity of the presiding deities for ensuring success. On the 1st Tithi Brahminic ceremonies such as marriage may be performed ; on the 2nd, laying foundation for houses, etc. ; on the 3rd, tonsure, etc ; on the 4th, destruction of enemies may be under- taken ; on the 5th, emetics, tonics, etc. ; on the 6th, getting new friends, coronation, etc ; on the 7th, con- struction of vehicles, journey, etc. ; on the 8th, taking up of arms, fortification, etc. ; on the 9th, ruining and killing enemies ; on the 10th, meritorious deeds, worship of Brahmins, etc. ; on the 11th, permanent and tempo- rary delicate work ; on the 12th, fire-worship ; on the 13th, making friendship, enjoyment of sensual pleasures,

According to Parasara, all the 15 Tithis have separate names as नन्दा, भद्रा, जया, रिक्ता, पूर्णा, मासा, मित्रा, महाबला, उग्रसेना, सुधन्वा, सुनन्दा, यमा, जया, उग्रा and सिद्धि. Since Rohini and Pratipat have the same presiding deity Brahman, all Brahma Karmas should be performed on a day that has both Rohini and Pratipat. Similarly 2nd and Abhijit; 3rd and Sravana; 4th and Bharani; 5th and Mrigasiras; 6th and Krittika; 7th and Jyeshta; 12th and Hasta; 13th and Purvaphalguni; 14th and Aslesha: 15th and Uttarashadha; 30th and Magha. बव and ज्येष्ठा have the same presiding deity; so also बालव and रोहिणी; कौलव and अनूराधा; तैतिल and उत्तरफल्गुनी; गर and ज्येष्ठा; वणिज and श्रवण; विष्टि and भरणी; शकुनि and आश्लेषा; चतुष्पात् and रोहिणी; नाग and आश्लेषा; किंस्तुघ्न and स्वाति. The शिव (मुहूर्त्त) and आर्द्रा have the same deity; so also भुजग and आश्लेषा; मित्र and अनूराधा; पितृ and मघा; वसु and धनिष्ठा; जल and पूर्वाषाढा; विश्व and उत्तराषाढा; विरिञ्चि and अभिजित्; पङ्कजभव and रोहिणी; ऐन्द्राग्नी and विशाखा; नैर्ऋत and मूला; वारुण and शतभिषक्; अर्यमा and उत्तरफल्गुनी; भाग्य and पूर्वफल्गुनी; अजैकपात् and पूर्वाभाद्रा; अहिर्बुध्न्य and उत्तराभाद्रा; पूषा and रेवती; दस्र and अश्विनी; अन्तक and भरणी; आग्नेय and कृत्तिका; मृगशिरस् and इन्दु; अदिति and पुनर्वसु; गुरु and पुष्य; हरि and श्रवण; त्वष्टा and चित्रा; अनिल and स्वाति. A Muhurta is a period of 48 minutes. Parasara's names differ from those given by Varaha. During the Sandhyas nothing should be done; in the West and S. E., one should not enter the house, nor eat, nor have sexual intercourse. करणगुणाध्यायः ॥१००॥ On the Qualities of the Karanas. बवबालवकौलवतैतिलाख्यगरवणिजविष्टिसंज्ञानाम् । पतयः स्युरिन्द्रकमलजोमर्त्यार्यमभूश्रियः सयमाः ॥१॥ Sloka 1.—The lords of the seven moveable Karanas, viz., Bava, Balava, Kaulava, Taitila, Gara, Vanik, and

It should also be noted that the Janma Rasis of the bride and the bridegroom are not 2nd and 12th, 5th and 9th, or 6th and 8th from each other (i. e., they may be in opposition, 3rd and 11th, the same Rasi, or 4th and 10th), that the Sun and the Moon for the bridegroom and the bride respectively are favourable in their Gochara (Transit), that the Moon is not in conjunction with the Sun, Mars, Saturn or Venus (she may be in conjunction with Jupiter or Mercury or both), that she is not hemmed in between malefics, that the day chosen is without Vyatipata or Vaidhriti, or Vishti, or is not a Rikta-Tithi, that the day is presided over by a benefic planet, that the season chosen is the northern solstice, that the month is any one but Chaitra and Pousha, (even in Dakshinayana the month of Kartika and Margasira are to be adopted), and that the rising Navamsa is owned by a biped sign. उक्तं च । हस्तोत्तरास्वातिमघानुराधाप्राजेशपौष्णेन्दवनैर्ऋतेषु । उद्वाहसौभाग्यसुखानि कन्या प्राप्नोति शेषैः सुतभर्तृशोकम् ॥ कन्यातुलावन्मिथुनेषु साध्वी शेषेष्वसाध्वी धनवर्जिता च । अन्येषु भेषु द्विपदांश इष्टः कन्यादिलग्नेषु न चान्त्यभागः ॥ सौम्यान् व्ययास्तनिधनेष्वरिमे च शुक्रं हित्वा स्थितस्त्रिधनलाभगतः शशाङ्कः । पापास्त्रिषड्निधनलाभगता विवाहे हित्वाऽष्टमं क्षितिजमिष्टफलानि दद्युः ॥ गोचरशुद्धाविन्दुं कन्याया यत्नतः शुभं वीक्ष्य । तिग्मकिरणं च पुंसां शेषैरबलैरपि विवाहः ॥

The several effects described in this chapter for the 27 aste- risms may be classified as either good or bad for purposes of con- venience as shown in the following statement.

• The Nakshatras that are in the 8th sign (i.e., वृश्चिक Vrischika) where the Moon is in depression are the 16th, the 17th and the 18th.

viz., Hasta is also bad. Among the ऋक्षसन्धि (Riksha Sandhi) Nakshatras, viz., आश्लेषा (Aslesha), ज्येष्ठा (Jyeshta) and रेवती (Revati), the last is good, because it is in Jupiter's sign. आर्द्रा (Ardra) is a रुद्र (Rudra) Nakshatra of fire. Therefore the Moon, a watery planet in आर्द्रा (Ardra) is bad (except for fiery planets like the Sun, Mars, etc.). All Nakshatras that are bad for the Moon are in अवरोह (Avaroha) position for the Moon, that is, away from the exaltation. Again, all stars that are bad for the Moon are in the 4th, 6th and 8th signs of the zodiac with the notable exception of आर्द्रा (Ardra). The 8th sign (Vrischika) is throughout bad for the Moon. Similar results should be expected if the Moon is progressed to the 8th house as per any system. The middle of the 6th sign (viz., हस्ता Hasta) is bad when the Moon progresses there. The end of the 4th sign (आश्लेषा Aslesha) is similarly bad. A fiery star like आर्द्रा (Ardra) is bad for a watery planet like the Moon. The Moon progressing to the end of the 4th sign (कटक Kataka), the middle of the 6th sign (कन्या Kanya) and the 8th sign (वृश्चिक Vrischika) in any horoscope is bad. Varahamihira has considered that the Moon is good or capable of giving good results in the Nakshatras ruled (according to विंशोत्तरी Vimsottari system) by benefics (including Nakshatras ruled by herself) and also the Nakshatras ruled by her friend the Sun. Next, the Nakshatras ruled by Mars are a little beneficial. The Nakshatras ruled by malefics, though good, are not capable of much improvement for finance. The above analysis is with respect to finance, subject to what has been stated already with respect to the 6 Nakshatras, viz., विशाखा (Visakha), अनुराधा (Anuradha), ज्येष्ठा (Jyeshta), हस्ता (Hasta), आश्लेषा (Aslesha) and आर्द्रा (Ardra). It should further be noted that Nakshatras in the signs Makara and Kumbha (Saturn's), though they are ruled by benefics according to the rule given above, are not capable of making the native generous. Because, the Nakshatras are in the houses owned by Saturn, a conservative, stingy planet. Cf. अदाता (Adata) for पूर्वाभाद्रपदा (Purvabhadrapada) and दुर्ग्राह्य (Durgrahya) for शतभिषक्
