v2.c23.269

⁵⁶⁵ Vide संस्काररत्नमाला p. 859 and संस्कारप्रकाश pp. 239–240 where all the letters for the 27 नक्षत्रs are set out from a work called ज्योतिषार्क and on pp. 860–861 of the former the 112 names (for the 4 पादs of 28 नक्षत्रs) are exemplified. Even so late a work as the धर्मसिन्धु (composed in 1790 A. d.) disapproves of these names as not based on any Vedic authorities 'केचित्तु चूचेचोलाश्विनीप्रोक्तेत्यादिज्योतिर्ग्रन्थोक्तावकहडाचक्रानुसारेणाश्विन्यादेश्चतुर्षु चरणेषु चूडामणिश्चेदीशोलेशो लक्ष्मण इत्यादीकानि नाक्षत्रनामानि कुर्वन्ति तन्न श्रौतग्रन्थाद्विबहुसंमतम्।' धर्मसिन्धु III परिच्छेद, पूर्वार्ध.
