Pūrvāṣāḍhā has two stars; female; downward-facing; the Waters are its deity; fierce; human class; monkey womb; its tree is the monkey-fruit tree; the parrot is the bird; the letters are from 'sa' to 'va'; eating kṛsara, one should go on a journey; at the end of twenty-four nāḍīs is the viṣaghaṭī; one should collect cattle and sow winter rice; one should also dig wells and the like, begin education, undertake vows, enter, and construct reservoirs; one should not give away money, one should only receive it; it is void in the month of Śrāvaṇa; on Monday, a poison combination; on Tuesday at the rising of Gemini, one should begin [building] ramparts (and deeds protecting other fortifications); in this ascendant, digging wells and the like [is performed]; if a reddish cloud is seen, rain falls on the fifth day; if there is a fever, distress for twenty-five days; maṇḍaka cakes are the food offering; worship with white water-lily flowers; realgar is the incense; the worship mantra is 'āpo hi ṣṭhā'; red rice is the substance; having offered one hundred and eight times with the Sāvitrī [mantra], one should present a propitiatory offering of milk porridge and ghee to Varuṇa; beginning from the fourteenth day, up to the end of twenty days, one will find relief; at the sun's ingress, the price is low. || 20
