*Campāṣaṣṭhī*—6th tithi on Bh. śu.; 6th when joined to Vaidhṛtiyoga, Tuesday and Viśākhā-nakṣatra is called Campā; fast on it, Sun deity; HV I. 590-596, NS 209, SmK 221-22, VR 233-236 (provides another date in Mārg. śu. 6th with Sunday and Vaidhṛtiyoga). SmK 430 and AK (folio 425 b) give both dates and add that according to Madanaratna it occurs on Mārg. śu. 6, Sunday, when the moon is in Śatabhiṣak nakṣatra. It occurs once in about thirty years with Vaidhṛti, Tuesday and Viśākhā and the digests provide that one should see Viśveśvara on this or at least some Śivaliṅga. NS (p. 209) says that Mārg. śu. 6th is known as Campāsaṣṭhī in Mahārāṣṭra.
