ज्येष्ठे मासि सिताष्टम्यां तत्र कार्यो महोत्सवः । रात्रौ जागरणं कार्यं सर्वसंपत्समृद्धये
jyeṣṭhe māsi sitāṣṭamyāṃ tatra kāryo mahotsavaḥ | rātrau jāgaraṇaṃ kāryaṃ sarvasaṃpatsamṛddhaye
Sa buwan ng Jyeṣṭha, sa maliwanag na ikawalong tithi, doon ay dapat idaos ang isang dakilang pagdiriwang. Sa gabi’y magsagawa ng pagpupuyat na debosyonal, upang sumagana ang lahat ng kasaganaan.
Skanda (deduced: Kāśī-khaṇḍa context, Skanda speaking to Agastya)
Tirtha: Jyeṣṭheśvara (with Jyeṣṭhā-Gaurī)
Type: temple
Scene: A grand festival at the shrine: decorated mandapa, garlands, lamps, musicians; through the night devotees keep vigil with singing and circumambulation, the liṅga and Devī shrine glowing in lamplight.
Sacred time (tithi and month) amplifies sacred place; disciplined vigil and celebration are framed as dharmic prosperity-makers.
The Jyeṣṭhasthāna/Jyeṣṭheśvara area in Kāśī, where the festival is to be observed.
Hold a mahotsava on Jyeṣṭha śukla aṣṭamī and observe night-long jāgaraṇa.
