Chapter 1 · Times to Avoid
त्याज्यप्रकरणम्
यामार्धं कुलिकं दिनर्द्धिमवमं पूर्वं दलं पारिघं विष्टिं वैधृतिपातसंक्रमगणं गडांतमेकार्गलम् । कृष्णानंगचतुर्दिनं रविशशिक्रांत्योः समत्वं खलां होरां रात्रिदिनार्धके क्षयदिनं पित्रोर्जनन्यार्तवम् ॥ २ ॥
Avoid these in good work. First, the yamardha (bad hour and a half of the weekday). Then kulika (a bad part of the day). A moon day that is there at two sunrises, so it touches three days. And avama (lost moon day). The first half of the Parigha yoga (Sun-Moon yoga of the almanac). Also vishti (bad half of a moon day). Also vaidhriti (a bad Sun and Moon yoga) and vyatipata (a bad Sun and Moon yoga). Also sankranti (the Sun's entry into a sign). Also gandanta (the edge-point between signs) and ekargala (single-bolt fault). The four days from the 13th of the dark half. The time when the Sun and the Moon stand equally far north or south. The hora (planetary hour) of a bad planet. The middle of the night and of the day. The death-day of a parent. The mother's monthly period.
Simple meaning: For good work, avoid bad parts of the day, bad almanac days, a parent's death-day and the mother's period.
मासाद्यं जनिसंभवं ग्रहणभं चंडायुधं दुःक्षणं ज्येष्ठं पूर्वभवस्य पापयुगितैष्यर्क्षाणि विद्धं च भम् । ऊनाख्याधिकमासकौ युतिषु विव्याशूवगंडातिषु त्र्यंकार्थांकरसर्तुपूर्वघटिका भानां विषाख्या घटीः ॥ ३ ॥
Also avoid your birth month, eclipse stars, stars touched by bad planets, lost and extra months, poison times.

Avoid a bad Moon, bad planet periods, a set Jupiter or Venus, family impurity, bad omens, unwillingness and illness.
नो कुर्याद्रविभादगेंद्रधृतितो युग्मेषु पंचाशयोः स्वर्गात्पंचसु शोभनानि तनुयादेषूग्रशस्त्रादिकम् । मासर्त्वायनवारयोगतिथिभादीनां च सिद्धाभिधा ज्ञातव्याः पुनरुक्तिरस्ति कुहचित्सा तत्स्मृतिप्राप्तये ॥ ५ ॥
Some stars counted from the Sun's star are bad for good work but fine for fierce work.
