²⁰¹⁰ शतमिन्दुक्षये दानं सहस्रं तु दिनक्षये । विषुवे शतसाहस्रं व्यतीपाते त्वनन्तकम् ॥ लघुशातातप 150 quoted as व्यास's by अपरार्क p. 292; विश्वरूप p. 144 also quotes the first पाद. When three *tithis* occur on the same day it is called दिनक्षय as the middle one is suppressed in the calendars (vide अपरार्क p. 292); शतमिन्दु० is quoted as याज्ञ० by हेमाद्रि (दान p. 69). व्यतीपात is one of the 27 योगs beginning with विष्कम्भ and is defined as श्रवणाश्विधनिष्ठाद्र्रानागदेवत-मस्तके। यद्यमा रविwareण व्यतीपातः स उच्यते ॥ (वृद्धमनु according to अपरार्क p. 426)—when the moon is in the constellations of Sravaṇa, Aśvinī, Dhaniṣṭhā, Ārdrā, Āśleṣā (first quarter) and amāvāsyā falls on Sunday it is Vyatīpāta. Even Bāṇa in the Harṣacarita IV states that Harṣa was born on a day that was free from all inauspicious conjunctions such as Vyatīpāta.
