Pippalâda said.—“King! now listen to the rituals pertaining to the pacification of the malignant aspect of the planet Śukra (Venus). On the beginning of a journey or its end, or on the occasions of the appearance and the disappearance of Śukra, a vessel of silver, gold or bell metal should be made and filled in with white flowers, white cloth and uncooked rice.—1-2.
