śrāvaṇasyāṣṭamī kṛṣṇā tathā'ṣāḍhī va pūrṇimā | tathā kārtikamāsasya yā cānyā phālgunasya ca
شراوَن کی کرشن اَشٹمی، آषاڑھ کی پُورنِما، اور اسی طرح کارتِک کی (مبارک) پُورنِما—اور پھالگُن کی بھی—پِتروں کے لیے کیے جانے والے انوشتھان میں سراہي گئی ہیں۔

Type: ghat
Listener: nṛpa (king)
Scene: Full-moon night over a tīrtha: devotees offer tarpaṇa at the water’s edge; the moon reflects on the surface while priests chant; a separate vignette shows kṛṣṇa-aṣṭamī austerity.
Certain lunar moments—especially pūrṇimā and select tithis—are portrayed as naturally supportive for Pitṛ satisfaction and dharmic merit.
The verse is part of a tīrtha-centered discourse but here emphasizes month-and-tithi sanctity rather than a single named tīrtha.
Observing Pitṛ rites on Śrāvaṇa kṛṣṇa aṣṭamī and on specific full-moon days (Āṣāḍha, Kārtika, Phālguna).
