Purpose of the Nakshatra Deity Names in a Naming Ceremony (R-VJ 28)
One will receive a name based on the nakshatra deity of the nakshatra that
one was born under from a person who performs or the paid priest who
performs the sacrifice who has knowledge of the sacred texts.
Summary of What Lagadha Expounded Upon (R-VJ 29): Lagadha spoke the
exposition of the (synodic) months, year, muhurtas, risings, parvans, days,
seasons, ayanas, and (solar) months.
The Results of Knowing the Veda of the Course of the Moon, the Sun,
and the Stars (R-VJ 30) A sage knowing the Veda of the course of the moon,
the sun, and the stars masters the course of the moon, the sun, and the
stars; the world in the world, and progeny.
Arriving at the Parvanas Surpassed at the Ordinal Number of an
Equinox and the Ordinal Tithe at the Ordinal Equinox in a *Five Year Yuga*
(R-VJ 31):
To arrive at the number of pakshas surpassed in a yuga at an ordinal
equinox; double the number of the ordinal equinox and subtract it by one,
then multiply that number by 6.
Half the number of pakshas is the ordinal Thithi at the equinox. The
equations for these two functions would be: Number of pakshas surpassed at
an ordinal equinox = (2n – 1) x 6 n = ordinal equinox
Ordinal Thithi at an ordinal equinox = Number of pakshas at an ordinal
equinox/2 Divide by 15 with any result greater than 15 and use the
remainder for the total for the ordinal Thithi.
These verse text is different in the recensions, but the interpretation of
the verses is virtually the same.

Synodic Solar and Lunar Events at the Start and Finish of Each of
the Five Years of the Yuga (R-VJ 32) :
The five years of the yuga arrive in the waxing of the moon during the
synodic lunar month of Magha and concluding in the waning of the moon in
the synodic lunar month of Pausha (derived from Pushya).
Specific Thithi and Fortnights at Each Equinox in a *Five Year Yuga*
(R-VJ 33) :
The equinox is declared in the third day of a lunar fortnight, ninth
day of a lunar fortnight, and the day of the full moon of the bright
fortnight and the 6th day of a lunar fortnight and in the 12th day of a
lunar fortnight of the dark fortnight. It should be repeated once again
during the five year yuga.
1st/6th equinox: 3rd tithi of the bright fortnight
2nd/7th equinox: 9th tithi of the bright fortnight
3rd/8th equinox: full moon (15th tithi)
4th/9th equinox: 6th tithi of the dark fortnight
5th/10th equinox: 12th tithi of the dark
fortnight
Condition of an Intercalary Day for a Yuga (R-VJ 34) : When the
moon rise just after sunrise and it is the first day the yuga, the start of
the yuga will be postponed with an intercalary day. This will insure the
yuga can begin at a precise new moon and an inauspicious tithi can be
avoided. This also keeps the astronomical cycles in sync with each other.
Importance of Jyotish (R-VJ 35) As a crest of the peacocks and the gems of
the serpents; just so, in that manner is Jyotisha situated at the most
prominent place of the teachings of the branches of knowledge.
