*Uttarāyaṇa*—Gifts are recommended at the beginning of each *ayana* (vide Śātātapa in KV 536 and VKK 292) and gifts made at the beginning of an *ayana* yield a crore-fold of merit, while a gift on Amāvāsyā gives only 100 times (RM q. by KV. 381, VKK 214). Vide I. A. vol. 20 pp. 104–106 for a grant of Eastern Cālukya king Maṅgo-yuvarāja on the occasion of Uttarāyaṇa-saṅkrānti.
