He should voluntarily offer sacriíice upon any atmospheric portent, at the equinoctial and solstitial periods, at eclipses of the sun and moon, on the sun's entrance into a Zodiacal sign, upon unpropitious aspects of the plancts and asterisms, on dreaming unlucky dreams and on eating tlie grain of the year's harvest. The manes obtain satisfaction foreight years from ancestral offerings upou the day of tlie new moon when the star of the conjunction is Anurádhá, Visakhá or Swáti and for tWélve years when it is Pushya, Ardrá or Punarvasu. He, who desires to satisíy the celestials or tlie manes, very seldom gets an opportunity on a day of new moon wlien the stars are those of Dhanistha, Purvabhádrapáda or Satabhisa. Hear alos the description of another class of Sráddhas which give special deliglit to tlie manes as explained by Sanat- kumara the son of Brahmá, to the noble Pururavas when brimful with faith and devotion to the manes he asked how he might please them.
