विवाहप्रकरणम्
चेत्स्यात्सूतकमुक्तपूर्वसमयेऽनारब्धकार्ये बुधः कूष्मांडीघृतहोमतोपि जननाशौचे क्वचित्कारयेत् । सिंहेज्ये न शुभं हितं हरिलवोर्ध्वं गौतमीदक्षिणे जाह्नव्युत्तरतः क्वचिद्धितमजेऽर्केतोऽस्रभीत्यादिषु ॥ ५३ ॥
Say impurity comes before the time said earlier, and the work has not begun. Then, in some places, for birth impurity, the wise have it done after a ghee offering. The offering uses the Kushmandi (a set of cleansing Vedic verses). With Jupiter in Leo, a wedding is not good. It is fine after Jupiter passes the Leo navamsha (one-ninth part of a sign). This holds south of the Godavari and north of the Ganga. In some places it is fine with the Sun in Aries. So too in cases like fear of the girl's coming of age.
Simple meaning: Birth impurity can be cleared with an offering; Jupiter in Leo is bad for weddings, with local exceptions.

A wedding may still go ahead in some cases; unfinished funeral rites, fever or serious illness stop it.
