Trayodaśī-vratāni — Anaṅga-Trayodaśī and Kāma-Trayodaśī (Chapter 191)
火神阿耆尼系统阐述十三日（Trayodaśī，阴历第十三日）的诸般斋戒仪轨，先说与无身者阿难伽（Anaṅga，即迦摩 Kāma）相关的“阿难伽十三日”，并强调阿难伽与诃罗（Hara，湿婆 Śiva）之合祀。章中自摩伽尸罗月（Mārgaśīrṣa）起按月制定修持次第：迎请神祇、特定苦行饮食，以及夜间火供（homa：以酥油和芝麻、米作供）。末段明列布施（dāna）规范——衣服、乳牛、床榻、伞盖、陶罐、鞋履、坐具与器皿——显示斋戒以社会与神圣的施与而圆满。又在恰特罗月（Caitra）提出第二重点：与罗蒂（Rati）同忆迦摩，以吉祥颜料绘阿输迦树（aśoka），并行半月连续供奉以求愿满。全章体现誓戒品（Vrata‑khaṇḍa）的法义“技术”：时间纪律、感官节制、图像/仪式行为与布施合为一体的修行，旨在得福、得祥与增上功德。
