Thus, once the commencement on the first lunar day is established, it is investigated: on which first lunar day should it be commenced? For there, the first lunar day is of two kinds: pure and overlapping. Among them, the pure one extends from sunrise until sunrise again. That is stated in the Nāradīya: / "Beginning from the time of sunrise for sixty nāḍikās, / that lunar day is indeed pure; this rule applies to all lunar days." / But the overlapping one is connected with another lunar day for three muhūrtas at the time marked by the sun; that too is of two kinds due to its conjunction with the preceding or following lunar day. Paiṭhīnasi says so: / "In both fortnights, lunar days overlap the preceding and following lunar day / with three muhūrtas; this is remembered as a general rule." > — English (machine translation) (machine translation) - [Previous: 115\_198](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.dharma.vrata.durgotsava.navaratrapradipa.115_198) - [Next: 115\_200](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.dharma.vrata.durgotsava.navaratrapradipa.115_200) ## Translations (1) - [English (machine translation)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.dharma.vrata.durgotsava.navaratrapradipa~en-mt.115_199) — English, machine translation ## Linked texts (5) - [Paiṭhīnasidharmasūtra (fragments)](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.kalpa.dharma.paithinasi*fragments.5.1) — Sanskrit - [Gadādharapaddhati](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.dharma.nibandha.mahanibandha.gadadharapaddhati.3.p14) — Gadādhara Rājaguru 1725, Sanskrit - [Kālasāra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.astro.muhurta.kala.kalasara.5.p7) — Nārāyaṇa Jyotirvit, Sanskrit - [Kālasāra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.dharma.kala.kalasara.5.p7) — Gadādhara (Pāraskara commentator), Sanskrit - [Kāladīpa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.dharma.kala.utkala.kaladipa.p11) — Divyasiṃha Mahāpātra 1640, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.dharma.vrata.durgotsava.navaratrapradipa.115_199](https://indike.org/pramana/in.niti.dharma.vrata.durgotsava.navaratrapradipa.115_199) · Pramāṇa
