ज्योतिःशास्त्रम्
मासद्वयं तथा स्वातिविशाखा विंशतिर्दिनम्(?) ।मैत्रे चैव दशाहानि ज्येष्ठास्वेवार्धमासकम् ॥ ७४ ॥
In the full Agni Purana this is chapter 121, verse 74.
Swati: two months. Vishakha: twenty days. Anuradha: ten days. Jyeshtha: half a month. (Our text is unclear here: the twenty days of Vishakha is marked doubtful.)
Simple meaning: Swati means two months, Vishakha about twenty days, Anuradha ten days and Jyeshtha half a month.
मूलेन जायते मोक्षः पूर्वाषाढा त्रिपञ्चकम् ।
Moola brings recovery. Purva Ashadha takes fifteen days, Uttara Ashadha twenty days, Shravana two months.
धनिष्ठा चार्धमासं च वारुणे च दशाहकम् ।
Dhanishta takes half a month, Shatabhisha ten days, Uttara Bhadrapada fifteen days. Purva Bhadrapada gives no release.
रेवती दशरात्रं च अहोरात्रं तथाऽश्विनी ।
Revati takes ten nights, Ashvini one day. Bharani can bring death. A Gayatri fire offering helps.
