The Jewel of Desire

"In summer, causing enmity; in the rainy season, immobilization; in late winter, killing; and in autumn, the act of peace. 3."

"One should perform nourishing acts in early winter, as stated by those who know the acts. 4."
"Spring is for the first part of the day, and summer is said to be for midday."

"One should know the rainy season to be for the afternoon, late winter for the twilight, autumn for midnight, and early winter for the dawn the time of roughly 90 minutes before sunrise. 5."

"These seasons have all been described in order. 6."
"Without the correct time, the mantras do not succeed, even if one performs them with effort."

"They certainly succeed only when done in their own time, and not otherwise. 7."
"Thus ends the determination of seasons for subduing and other acts."

"A wise person should accomplish the act of subduing on the seventh lunar day. One should perform the act of attraction on the third and thirteenth lunar days. 8."
