*ŚĪTAKRCCHRA*—This is the reverse of Taptakṛcchra, as here all the articles are to be taken when they are cold351a and not hot (as in Tapta-kṛcchra). Vide Viṣṇu Dh S 46 12, Aginpurāna 171 7 and Mīt on Yāj. III. 317 According to Viṣṇu quoted by Pr Sāra (p. 185) and Madana-pārijāta (p. 736) this is a penance for 10 days (and not for twelve days as the Mit. states), viz cold water, cold milk and cold ghee are drunk three days each and there is a total fast for one day *ŚRĪKṚCCHRA*—According to Viṣṇu Dh. S. 46.16, Agni-purāṇa ³⁵² 171.12 and Mit. on Yāj III. 316 (quoting Mārkaṇḍeya) this is constituted by subsisting on Bilva fruit or lotus seeds or āmalaka fruit for a month. The Madanapārijāta (p. 737) quotes a verse of Śaṅkha to the same effect.
