Bhishma said Hear me, O Yudhishthira, as I tell you what those optional Shraddhas are that should be performed under the different constellations and that were first spoken of by Yama of king Shashabindu.
भीष्म उवाच यमस्तु यानि श्राद्धानि प्रोवाच शशविन्दवे। तानि मे शृणु काम्यानि नक्षत्रेषु पृथक् पृथक्॥
