Adhyaya 195
Chapter 195 — तिथिव्रतानि (Tithi-vratāni) — Vows according to lunar days (closing colophon)
This unit serves chiefly as a transition marker, closing the prior instructional sequence on tithi-based vows (tithi-vratāni) within the Vrata-khaṇḍa. The colophon signals the completion of a calendrical discipline in which lunar days function as ritual coordinates for dharmic observance. By ending the tithi-cycle here, the text readies the practitioner to move from lunar reckoning to solar and weekday reckoning, while preserving the Agni Purāṇa’s method of presenting practical ritual technologies as a path supporting both bhukti (ordered worldly life) and mukti (spiritual liberation).
