ग्रहराशिस्वरूपवर्षप्रवेशाद्यानयनाधिकारः
अथ वर्षप्रवेशे संक्षिप्तपञ्चाङ्गफलमुक्तं त्रैलोक्यप्रकाशे ॥नन्दाभद्रा जया पूर्णाशुभदास्तिथयो मताः ॥द्वादश्याद्याश्च रिक्ता च न शुभा वर्षवेशने ॥१॥
Next, the short results of the panchanga (almanac) at the year's entry, told in the Trailokyaprakasha. The tithis (moon days) Nanda, Bhadra, Jaya and Purna (the tithi groups) are held to give good. The tithis from the 12th on, and the rikta (empty tithi), are not good at the year's entry.
Simple meaning: Tithi at the year entry: Nanda, Bhadra, Jaya and Purna tithis are good; the empty tithis and those from the 12th on are not.
सोमो बुधो गुरुः शुक्रो वाराश्चत्वार उत्तमाः॥
Weekday of the year entry: Monday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday are best; Tuesday, Sunday and Saturday bring loss and fear.
अश्विनीमृगशीर्षश्च हस्तः पुष्यः पुनर्वसुः॥
