The Crest-Jewel of the Stars

original: "Nakshatra Chudamani"

After performing a hundred oblations, one who delights in perfumes and garlands should offer a sacrifice in the northern direction by donating a cow. Within a month, he will become happy. Now, regarding the combinations of lunar days and weekdays: if it falls on a Sunday, it is a "Bee" combination Alini Yoga; on Monday, a "Success" combination Siddha Yoga; on Tuesday, an "Auspicious" combination Shubha Yoga; on Wednesday, a "Beginning" combination Arambha Yoga; on Thursday, a "Death" combination Mrityu Yoga; on Friday, an "Immortal Success" combination Amrita Siddha Yoga; and on Saturday, an "Auspicious" combination. In the month of Bhadrapada, on a Bhadra lunar day, it is a "Revival" combination Sanjiva Yoga. In the month of Ashadha, it is "Void" Shunya. If an omen is seen during this time, there will be famine. Rainbows and halos around the sun or moon during this period provide scorching rain. At the sun's transit Sankramana, it is unstable. When other cruel planets are present, it is the "Great Spear" combination Mahashula Yoga.
