In the pancāṅgas several Yogas (that have nothing to do with the 27 yogas) like Amṛtasiddhi, Yamaghaṇṭa, Dagdhayoga, Mṛtyuyoga, Ghaḍāda are mentioned; they are purely astrological and all of them except three are passed over here for reasons of space. When on Sunday there is Hasta, on Monday Mṛgaśīrṣa, on Tuesday Aśvinī, on Wednesday Anurādhā, on Thursday Tiṣya (i. e. Puṣya), on Friday Revatī and on Saturday Rohiṇī, all these are Amṛtasiddhiyogas (fortunate ones¹¹²⁰). Avoid Anurādhā on Sunday, Uttarāṣāḍhā on Monday, Śatatārakā on Tuesday, Aśvinī on Wednesday, Mṛgaśīrṣa on Thursday, Āśleṣā on Friday and Hasta on Saturday--these are seven Mṛtyuyogas (inauspicious). If the weekdays from Sunday to Saturday occur on the tithis, 12th, 11th, 10th, 3rd, 6th, 2nd, 7th respectively, these are Dagdhayogas (inauspicious yogas).
