आदित्येऽहनि संक्रांतौ ग्रहणे चन्द्र सूर्ययोः । पारणैश्चैव गोदाने नोपोष्यः पौत्रवान्गृही
āditye'hani saṃkrāṃtau grahaṇe candra sūryayoḥ | pāraṇaiścaiva godāne nopoṣyaḥ pautravāngṛhī
ஞாயிற்றுக்கிழமை, சங்கிராந்தி நாள், சந்திர/சூரிய கிரகணம், மேலும் பாரண நேரம் மற்றும் கோதானம் செய்யும் வேளையில்—பேரன் உள்ள இல்லறத்தான் நோன்பு இருக்கக் கூடாது।
Unspecified in excerpt (within Prabhāsa-kṣetra Māhātmya narration)
Tirtha: Prabhāsa-kṣetra
Type: kshetra
Scene: A household elder with a grandson present refrains from fasting on saṅkrānti/eclipse day; instead he performs go-dāna and pāraṇa at the proper time, with priests and family gathered near a Śiva shrine.
Vrata practice must be harmonized with one’s life-stage and responsibilities; dharma is contextual, not merely austere.
The guidance is situated in Prabhāsa-kṣetra Māhātmya, where correct observance of vrata and dāna supports the sanctity of Prabhāsa.
A rule about upavāsa (fasting): certain householders (pautravān) should avoid fasting on specified occasions such as saṅkrānti, eclipses, pāraṇa times, and go-dāna.
