“Learn of me the voluntary seasons. On the arrival of a distinguished brāhman, on an eclipse of the sun or moon, at the solstice, at the equinox, at the sun’s passage from one sign into another, and on the occasion of a portent,[4] my son, on acquiring property worthy of a śrāddha, and on seeing a bad dream, and at occultations of the constellation or planet under which one is born, one should perform the śrāddha according to one’s inclination.

Frederick Eden Pargiter 1888, The Mārkaṇḍeya Purāṇa
