ग्रहराशिस्वरूपवर्षप्रवेशाद्यानयनाधिकारः
उच्यते ॥ "अष्टमे वर्षे ब्राह्मणमुपनयेत् षष्ठेऽन्नाद्यकामः"इति॥
We answer: 'In the eighth year one should give the sacred thread to a Brahmin boy. In the sixth, one who wants plenty of food.'
Simple meaning: Rite timing: the sacred thread at age eight, or at six for one who wants plenty of food.
तथा ॥
Marriage ages: a girl of eight is Gauri, of nine is Rohini; each gift brings a reward.
इत्यादिभिर्वाक्यैरुपनयनविवाहकाला अनेकेऽभिहितास्तेषां ज्ञानं झटिति ताजिकशास्त्रादेव जायते ॥
Why Tajika helps: it shows quickly the right years for the sacred thread and marriage.
अन्यच्च ॥ उक्तकालेपि गुरुशुद्धिं विना यथोपनयनविवाहावुत्सर्गतो न भवतस्तथा जन्मकालात्तत्तद्वर्षेष्वरिष्टसंभवेपि न भवतो दुष्टफलस्य तुल्यत्वादिति ।
Another use: if a year shows harm, the sacred thread and marriage wait, as they wait for Jupiter's good place.
