रवौ प्रथमिका दग्धा सोमे सप्तमिका तथा । भौमे चतुर्थिका प्रोक्ता सौम्ये त्रयोदशी क्रमात् ॥
ravau prathamikā dagdhā some saptamikā tathā | bhaume caturthikā proktā saumye trayodaśī kramāt ||
On Sunday the first tithi is burnt, on Monday the seventh, on Tuesday the fourth is declared burnt, and on Wednesday the thirteenth in order.
दग्धायां तिथिका जातः शान्तिं प्राप्नोति निश्चितम् । दानजपव्रतैर्भक्त्या तिथीशपूजनाद् युतैः ॥
dagdhāyāṃ tithikā jātaḥ śāntiṃ prāpnoti niścitam | dānajapavratair bhaktyā tithīśapūjanād yutaiḥ ||
