The Greatness of Hari’s Janmāṣṭamī (Jayantī) Vow
मुहूर्तरोहिणीयुक्ता संपूर्णा चाष्टमी भवेत् । अष्टमी बुधवारेण रोहिणीसहिता यदि
muhūrtarohiṇīyuktā saṃpūrṇā cāṣṭamī bhavet | aṣṭamī budhavāreṇa rohiṇīsahitā yadi
Apabila tithi Aṣṭamī sempurna dan berserta nakṣatra Rohiṇī walau hanya selama satu muhūrta, maka ia dianggap sebagai “Aṣṭamī yang sempurna”. Jika Aṣṭamī hadir bersama Rohiṇī pada hari Rabu (Budha), maka ia lebih utama lagi.

FAQs
If Aṣṭamī is fully present and overlaps with the Rohiṇī nakṣatra even for a single muhūrta, that Aṣṭamī is treated as a ‘complete’ (saṃpūrṇā) Aṣṭamī for observance purposes.
The verse indicates an added auspiciousness when Aṣṭamī coincides with Rohiṇī specifically on Budhavāra (Wednesday), a combination often used in Purāṇic vrata-timing to mark heightened merit or suitability.
It supports the Purāṇic emphasis on correct vrata and ritual timing (pañcāṅga-based observance), where tithi–nakṣatra conjunctions determine when a fast, worship, or vow is considered properly fulfilled.
