A few minor matters are noted here: On Phā. śu. 8 worship of Lakṣmī and Sītā with gandha &c. (KKN 441-443, KR 527, quoting Brah.) On Phā. pūrṇimā if there be Phālgunī-nakṣatra one should donate a bedstead with good coverlets and thereby one secures a beautiful wife that brings a fortune (V. Dh. 90.), as Aryaman was born of Aditi and Kaśyapa and the Moon from Atri and Anasūyā on Phā. pūrṇimā, both the Sun and Moon should be worshipped at moonrise and songs, dance and music should be indulged in, KR 530, quoting Brah. and KKN 443; on this pūrṇimā a temple festival is held in South India called Uttira.
