मिश्रप्रकरणम्
भद्रासंक्रमपातवैधृतिसितेज्यार्कारषष्ठ्यादिषु श्राद्धाहे प्रतिपद्द्वये परिहरेद्धेतुं विनाभ्यंजनम् । मांगल्यं विजयोत्सवोब्दवदनं दीपावलीहेतवोऽभ्यंगस्य कथितादितैलमनसन्निंद्येऽह्नि नित्येऽखिलम् ॥ १० ॥
Do not take an oil bath without a reason on these days. Bhadra (bad half of a moon day) and a sankranti (the Sun's entry into a sign). A vyatipata (a bad Sun and Moon yoga) or a vaidhriti (a bad Sun and Moon yoga). Friday, Thursday, Sunday or Tuesday. The 6th tithi (moon day) and the like. A shraddha (ancestor rite) day, and the two first tithis. Good reasons for an oil bath are a lucky rite and the victory festival. The start of the year and Dipavali are good reasons too. Oil boiled with herbs and the like is fine. On a day that is not bad or blamed, all of it is fine for daily use.
Simple meaning: Avoid oil baths on these days unless there is a festival or a lucky rite.
दिग्विश्वाद्रिदृगंकदर्शतिथिषु स्नानं न धात्रीफलैः श्रीकामोऽथ बुधांबुपर्क्षपितृभाभ्यंगात्पतिघ्न्यंगना । पुत्री सोमदिने प्रसूर्यमपितृत्वाष्ट्रेंद्रमिश्रांबुपक्रव्यादेश्वरभे कुपुत्रहरिजे स्नायान्निशास्येऽपि न ॥ ११ ॥
Some tithis are bad for an amla bath; some days and stars are bad for a woman's oil bath.

Start medicine on good stars in the bright half; let blood or treat wounds on Sunday or Tuesday.

Some stars say how long an illness lasts; take the bath after illness on a bad star, not Friday or Monday.
