Citrā has one star. It is horizontal-facing; Tvaṣṭṛ is its deity; it is tender [mṛdu]; its animal origin is the tiger; it belongs to the demonic class [rākṣasagaṇa]; its tree is the bilva; its bird is the goose [haṃsa]; its letters are ṭa and ṭha. One should depart on a journey after eating spiced rice [citrānna]. At the end of twenty-one nāḍikās is the poisonous period. One should perform the first feeding of solid food, ear-piercing, tonsure, the sacred thread investiture, wearing of clothes and ornaments, consecratory sprinkling, ancestral rites, agriculture, and sowing seeds. It is void in the month of Vaiśākha. On Tuesday there is the yoga of destruction. With the Nandā tithis on Sunday and Tuesday, there is the moveable yoga [carayoga]. On Monday with the second lunar day there is the yoga of poison; on the thirteenth lunar day there is the yoga of death; on Wednesday there is the Yamakaṇṭaka [yoga]; on Saturday there is the yoga of destruction. When it arises in the forenoon in the month of Māgha […], there is rain. If fever [occurs], the affliction lasts five days. The food offering is modaka sweets; the worship is with hibiscus [japā] flowers; the incense is ten-ingredient incense; the mantra for worship is "citraṃ devānām"; the substances are water, sugarcane, ghee, and spiced rice. Having offered one hundred and eight fire oblations with the Sāvitrī [mantra], one should present a propitiatory offering to Tvaṣṭṛ with ghee, sugarcane, and water. Beginning from the seventh day up to the end of the twentieth day, one will become comfortable. At the solstice, the prices are moderate. || 14
