पौषे तु कुङ्कुमं देयं माघे पात्रं तिलैर्भृतम् । फाल्गुने मासि सम्प्राप्ते पात्रं मोदकसंभृतम्
pauṣe tu kuṅkumaṃ deyaṃ māghe pātraṃ tilairbhṛtam | phālgune māsi samprāpte pātraṃ modakasaṃbhṛtam
پوش کے مہینے میں کُنکُم (زعفران) دان کرنا چاہیے۔ ماگھ میں تلوں سے بھرا ہوا برتن دان کرے۔ جب پھالگُن آئے تو مودکوں سے بھرا ہوا برتن دان کرے۔
