If the constellation is governed by the Serpent deity original: "sarpa-daivata"; referring to the Nakshatra Ashlesha, then the vowel I original: "ikara" sets. This is associated with the Victorious lunar day Jaya tithi; the 3rd, 8th, and 13th days and the planet Jupiter original: "Jiva".
Ancestors 3 When the deity of the constellation is the Ancestors original: "Pitri"; referring to the Nakshatra Magha, then the vowel U sets. This is associated with the Empty lunar day Rikta tithi; the 4th, 9th, and 14th days and the planet Venus original: "Shukra".
If the constellation is governed by the Vasu deities original: "Vasu-daivata"; referring to the Nakshatra Dhanishta, the vowel E sets. Similarly, this is linked to the Full lunar day Purna tithi; the 5th, 10th, and 15th days and the planet Saturn original: "Saura". If the constellation is governed by the god Yama original: "Yama-daivata"; referring to the Nakshatra Bharani, the vowel O sets.
In this manner, the destruction of the vowel A occurs when the vowel I arises. Likewise, the destruction of I occurs when U arises. In this same manner, when U arises, the vowel E dissolves, and when E arises, the vowel O is established, and when O arises, the vowel Ri is ordained. Thus, the arising and setting of the vowels have been shown according to the General Method original: "sthula-margena"; literally the "gross" or broad path involving the gods, sages, planets, deities, and lunar days. I shall now explain the arrangement Prastara; a mathematical or mystical table through a more subtle distinction.
O Parvati, this should be applied everywhere as revealed by the Sun...
