अष्टम्यां वृषभं दत्त्वा नीलं लक्षणसंयुतम् । नवम्यां तु गृहं दद्याच्चक्रं शंखं गदां तथा
aṣṭamyāṃ vṛṣabhaṃ dattvā nīlaṃ lakṣaṇasaṃyutam | navamyāṃ tu gṛhaṃ dadyāccakraṃ śaṃkhaṃ gadāṃ tathā
No oitavo tithi (Aṣṭamī), tendo doado um touro de tonalidade azul, dotado de sinais auspiciosos, obtém-se mérito. No nono (Navamī), deve-se doar uma casa; e também oferecer o disco, a concha e a maça como emblemas sagrados.
