*Mahādvādaśī*—the 12th tithi of Bh. śu. with Śravaṇa-nakṣatra is so called; fast on it and worship of Viṣṇu leads to great rewards; KR 286-287. Vide Vi. Dh I. 161. 1-8 in one verse of which it is stated that if Bh. śu. 12 falls on a Wednesday and has Śravaṇa nakṣatra, it is 'atyanta-mahatī' (greater than great) Vi. Dh. I. 162 (1-71) dilates upon the māhātmya of Śravaṇa-dvādaśī. Besides this there are eight very holy dvādaśīs for which see p. 119 above.
