The worshipper should feast the learned and the pious, from Mârgśîrṣa after an interval of two months, under the following trees:—aśvatha (the holy fig tree), vaṭa (the banyan tree), udumbara (Ficus glomerata), plakṣa (the rose-apple), palâśa (butea frondosa), jambu (eugenia jambolana); and he should use the tooth-brush made of these trees to cleanse his teeth on those days. An offering of arghya water and black cloth and black cow should be made to the Deity, and at the conclusion of the fast, curds, grain, canopy, flags and châmara, &c., should be given away in charity.—7-9.
