c15.t1.23

There are generally between 29 and 32 days in a solar month and they are counted from 1 to 29, 30, 31 or 32 without reference to a *tithi* or lunar day (i.e. one-thirtieth part of the whole lunation) of the dark or bright fortnight (*pakṣa*), even though the *tithis* are also counted for the observance of particular functions in the areas where the solar months are prevalent.¹
