*Prātaḥ-snāna*—(bath in early morning) BB (p 350 verse 1530) and RM (verse 1361, ABORI vol. 36 p. 33) state that one should always bathe early morning when the Sun is in Tulā (Balance), Makara (Capricorn) and Meṣa (Ram). This is quoted by KR 149 from RM and by VKK 240 (from Bhav.); V. Dh. 64. 8 directs that one who undertakes prātaḥ-snāna must bathe when he sees eastern quarter suffused with the rays of Aruṇa.
