Skanda Purana — Brahma Khanda, Shloka 78
व्यतीपात तु योगानां वारं वारेषु वै रवेः । चतुर्णामपि यो योगो मकरस्थे रवौ भवेत्
vyatīpāta tu yogānāṃ vāraṃ vāreṣu vai raveḥ | caturṇāmapi yo yogo makarasthe ravau bhavet
Dalam kalangan yoga astrologi, Vyatīpāta adalah yang terunggul; dan dalam kalangan hari, hari Surya—Ahad—adalah yang paling utama. Apabila pertemuan empat unsur mujarab berlaku ketika Surya berada dalam Makara (Capricorn), maka nilainya menjadi sangat istimewa.
