When a week had passed, at that auspicious and rare moment—when the lord of the ascendant was established in the ascendant, and the Moon was conjoined with its own offspring—the destined event came to pass.

FAQs
The verse frames a key event as unfolding at a “rare and auspicious moment,” emphasizing that worldly indicators (like muhūrta) can reflect—without replacing—the higher Shaiva truth that Shiva’s grace and divine order guide outcomes.
By highlighting śubha-kṣaṇa (auspicious time), it supports the Purāṇic practice of performing Saguna Shiva worship—such as Linga pūjā, abhiṣeka, and vrata—at sanctified times, while remembering that the fruit ultimately comes through Shiva’s anugraha (grace).
Choose a śubha muhūrta for Shiva worship: perform Linga abhiṣeka, apply tripuṇḍra (bhasma), wear rudrākṣa if available, and chant the Pañcākṣarī mantra “Om Namaḥ Śivāya” with steadiness and devotion.
