amāvāsyāṃ tathā tasya antarā pūryate paraḥ
vṛddhikṣayau vai pakṣādau ṣoḍaśyāṃ śaśinaḥ mṛtau
evaṃ sūryanimitte te kṣayavṛddhī niśākare //
The 15th portion of the nectar of the moon is drunk by the Piṭris. The sixteenth part of the Moon is recognised as the junction of the two (dark and bright) fortnights, when the final waning takes place and fresh waxing begins. Thus the waxing and waning of the Moon under the influence of the Sun have been described.—71-72.
