शुक्रे च रेवती श्रेष्ठा अश्विनी मङ्गले शुभा / एतेषु सिद्धियोगा वै सर्वदोषविनाशनाः
śukre ca revatī śreṣṭhā aśvinī maṅgale śubhā / eteṣu siddhiyogā vai sarvadoṣavināśanāḥ
جمعہ کے دن ریوَتی نَکشتر سب سے افضل ہے اور منگل کے دن اشوِنی مبارک ہے۔ ان ہی میلانات میں سِدھی-یوگ ہوتے ہیں جو ہر طرح کے دَوش اور نحوست کو مٹا دیتے ہیں۔

FAQs
This verse treats siddhi-yogas as success-giving time-alignments; choosing them is presented as a way to neutralize doṣa (inauspicious factors) and support favorable outcomes for rites and undertakings.
It does not directly describe the soul’s post-death journey; instead, it emphasizes dharmic practice through correct timing (muhūrta/nakṣatra), which the text frames as reducing obstacles and negativity that can affect ritual efficacy.
For traditional observances, one may prioritize Fridays with Revatī and Tuesdays with Aśvinī (where applicable) for initiating auspicious actions, while also pairing timing with ethical conduct and proper ritual procedure.
