⁴⁶⁷ आह व्यासः। आर्द्रायां बोधयेद्देवीं मूलेन तु प्रवेशयेत्। उत्तरेणार्चनं कृत्वा श्रवणेन विसर्जयेत्। का वि. p. 511, व. क्रि कौ p 375 (ascribes to नन्दिकेश्वरपुराण and reads पूर्वोत्तराभ्यां संपूज्य). The कालीविलासतन्त्र (30. 6) has 'आर्द्रायां बोधयेद्देवीं मूलेनैव प्रवेशयेत्। पूर्वोत्तराभ्यां सम्पूज्य श्रवणेन विसर्जयेत्॥'. The बोधन on आर्द्रा refers to the 9th tithi of the dark half preceding the navarātra, Mūla refers to the 7th tithi when the *bilva* twig was to be brought to the house, Uttarāṣāḍhā and Śravaṇa would correspond to the 9th and 10 tithis respectively.
