नमस्ते मासमासांते जायमान पुनःपुनः । गृहाणार्घ्यं शशांक त्वं रोहिण्या सहितो मम
namaste māsamāsāṃte jāyamāna punaḥpunaḥ | gṛhāṇārghyaṃ śaśāṃka tvaṃ rohiṇyā sahito mama
Saudações a Ti, que ‘nasces’ de novo e de novo ao fim de cada mês. Ó Śaśāṅka, junto com Rohiṇī, aceita esta minha oferenda de arghya.
Brahmā (deduced; Vaiṣṇava-khaṇḍa narration style)
Tirtha: Ayodhyā-kṣetra (contextual)
Type: kshetra
Scene: Under a bright moon, the devotee pours arghya upward; Candra appears with Rohiṇī as a gentle celestial presence, emphasizing month-end renewal.
Time’s cycles are sacred; honoring the Moon’s recurring ‘rebirth’ encourages renewal, restraint, and gratitude.
The rite is situated within Ayodhyā’s māhātmya, presenting Ayodhyā as a field for dharmic observance.
A direct arghya-prayer to the Moon, specifically invoking his association with Rohiṇī.
