*Nakṣatra-viśeṣe padārthaviśeṣa-niṣedhaḥ*—(prohibition of doing certain things on certain nakṣatras). A few examples may be given here. VKK 87–88, TT 28 quote a verse 'one should give up the use of sesame oil on the nakṣatras Citrā, Hasta, and Śravaṇa, shaving on Viśākhā and Abhijit, flesh on Mūla, Mṛgaśiras and Bhādrapadā, sexual intercourse on Maghā, Kṛttikā and Uttarā'. This is Vā. 14. 50-51 (with some variations).
