¹⁶⁵ तदाहुर्यद्दर्शपूर्णमासयोरुपवसति न ह वा अव्रतस्य देवा हविरश्नन्ति तस्मादुपव-सत्युत मे देवा अश्नीयुुरिति । पूर्वा पौर्णमासीमुपवसेदिति पैङ्ग्यमुत्तरामिति कौषीतकं या पूर्वा पौर्णमासी सानुमतिर्योत्तरा सा राका । या पूर्वामावास्या सा सिनीवाली योत्तरा सा कुहूः । यां पर्यस्तमियादभ्युदियादिति सा तिथि । ऐ. ब्रा 32 9. It may be remembered that Sāyaṇa notes that this section (khaṇḍa) and the next are not recited by some and are not therefore explained by them The last sentence probably means that that is the tithi (on which a specific religious act is to be performed) with reference to which the sun sets or with reference to which it rises i e these words embody in a somewhat obscure form the same idea to which Devala gives expression in the following two verses: यां तिथिं समनुप्राप्य अस्तं याति दिवाकर । सा तिथि. सकला ज्ञेया स्नानदानजपादिषु ॥ यां तिथिं समनुप्राप्य उदयं याति भास्करः । सा तिथि सकला ज्ञेया दानाध्ययनकर्मसु ॥ quoted by अपरार्क p 214. (Continued from last page) In **व क्रि कौ** p. 15 and **व्र का वि** p 233 the second half of both verses is the same viz सा तिथि ॰ स्नानदानव्रतादिषु The स्मृतित्त्व II p 351 reverses the order and reads या तिथिं. उदय याति भास्करः। सा स्नानदानजपादिषु and या तिथिं ... अस्तं याति दिवाकर. । ... ज्ञेया दानाध्ययनकर्मसु॥ As observed by **व क्रि कौ** Devala means that in स्नान, दान and व्रत the tithi at sunrise is to be preferred.
