मिश्रप्रकरणम्
दिग्विश्वाद्रिदृगंकदर्शतिथिषु स्नानं न धात्रीफलैः श्रीकामोऽथ बुधांबुपर्क्षपितृभाभ्यंगात्पतिघ्न्यंगना । पुत्री सोमदिने प्रसूर्यमपितृत्वाष्ट्रेंद्रमिश्रांबुपक्रव्यादेश्वरभे कुपुत्रहरिजे स्नायान्निशास्येऽपि न ॥ ११ ॥
One who wants wealth should not bathe with amla fruit on certain tithis (moon days). These are the 10th, 13th, 7th, 2nd and 9th, and the new moon. A woman may take an oil bath on Wednesday, or under Shatabhisha or Magha. Then the verse says she may lose her husband. On Monday, it is said to bring her a son. A new mother should not bathe under Bharani, Magha, Chitra or Jyeshtha. Nor under Krittika, Vishakha, Shatabhisha, Moola or Ardra. Nor on Tuesday or Saturday. Nor even at nightfall.
Simple meaning: 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.
द्रव्यं संव्यवहारतो लघुचरैर्योज्यं चरांगे बुधे धर्माष्टात्मजगेऽथ तस्य हरणे हस्तो रविर्ज्ञः कुजः । संक्रांतिर्भरणी त्रिपुष्करयमौ कुंभांत्ययोश्चंद्रमा वृद्धिश्चेति शुभाविदून इह यत्कुर्यादृणं तत्स्थिरम् ॥ १४ ॥
Lend on swift and moving stars; repay on these days, but a loan taken then tends to stay unpaid.
