FAQs
Here “Jayantī” denotes specially auspicious, victory-bestowing sacred days identified by particular tithi (lunar day) and sometimes nakṣatra (lunar mansion) combinations, said to yield great spiritual merit.
The verse highlights a calendrical “yoga” (combination) where the Dvādaśī tithi coincides with the Śravaṇa nakṣatra, marking it as especially meritorious and auspicious for religious observances.
It teaches that timing matters in vrata and pūjā: certain lunar dates—especially when paired with specific nakṣatras—are praised as highly beneficial for undertaking devotional practices and seeking auspicious results.
