To-day the star Magha is on the ascendant. On the third day, my master, when the Phalguna will be on the north, do you, O monarch, perform the marriage ceremony. Do you now, however, dispense gifts for invoking blessings upon Rāma and Laksmana.24
मघा ह्यद्य महाबाहो तृतीयदिवो प्रभो। फल्गुन्यामुत्तरे राजेस्तस्मिन् वैवाहिकं कुरु। रामलक्ष्मणयोरर्थे दानं कार्यं सुखोदयम्॥
