ଶ୍ରୀ ମାର୍କଣ୍ଡେୟ ପୁରାଣରେ ‘ଶ୍ରାଦ୍ଧ-କଳ୍ପ’ ନାମକ ବତ୍ତିଶତମ ଅଧ୍ୟାୟ ସମାପ୍ତ। ଏବେ ତେତ୍ରିଶତମ ଅଧ୍ୟାୟ ଆରମ୍ଭ। ମଦାଲସା କହିଲେ— ପ୍ରତିପଦା ତିଥିରେ କାମ୍ୟ ଶ୍ରାଦ୍ଧ କଲେ ଧନଲାଭ; ଦ୍ୱିତୀୟାରେ ପଶୁ/ଗୋଧନ; ତୃତୀୟାରେ ବର ପ୍ରାର୍ଥୀଙ୍କ ସିଦ୍ଧି; ଚତୁର୍ଥୀ ଶତ୍ରୁନାଶ କରେ।

The Purāṇa integrates human goals (wealth, security, success) into a dharmic schedule, implying desires are to be pursued through regulated, gratitude-centered rites rather than adharma.
This is ritual-ethics instruction, not the core pancalakṣaṇa categories; it belongs to the Purāṇic function of teaching dharma through narrative and practical lists.
Tithis are treated as qualitative ‘moods of time.’ Linking each tithi to a fruit encodes a view that intention, rite, and temporal quality together shape outcomes.
