The assumption of the scholiasts seems to be due to the fact that to their minds a month must end with a new moon (\*amānta\*) or with full moon (\*pūrṇimānta\*). But there is no reason to say that in Vedic times the month may not have commenced with the new moon; the Kauṣītaki passage would thus be quite satisfactorily explained. - [Previous: v1.c3.s20.176](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s20.176) - [Next: v1.c3.s20.178](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s20.178) - [Up: v1.c3.s20](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s20) ## Cites (2) - [Śāṅkhāyanaśrautasūtra](https://indike.org/pramana/in.vedanga.kalpa.srauta.sankhayana-school.sankhayana.13.19) — Śāṅkhāyana, Sanskrit - [Kauṣītakibrāhmaṇa](https://indike.org/pramana/in.veda.brahmana.kausitaki) — Kauṣītaki, Sanskrit --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s20.177](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.macdonell-keith-1912.v1.c3.s20.177) · Pramāṇa
