मिश्रप्रकरणम्
दिव्यं नैव मलिम्लुचे विधुसितेज्यास्ते रवावष्टमे मंदाराह्नि खलोदये स्थिरतनौ कुर्यात्कृतेऽदोऽन्यथा । श्रीशैलग्रहणायनेषु विषुवे संकीर्णजातावुपाकृत्युत्सर्गवधूप्रवेशनगयागोदासु नित्याब्दिके ॥ १७ ॥
Never do the divya (trial by ordeal) in an adhimasa (extra month). Not when the Moon, Venus or Jupiter is set. Not when the Sun is in the 8th house. Not on Saturday or Tuesday. Not with a bad planet rising, or a fixed sign rising. When there is a charge, do it at other times. Next, times when a set Jupiter or Venus is no fault. A trip to Shrishaila, an eclipse, the Sun's turn north or south, and the equinox. Rites for one of mixed birth. The upakarma (start of the yearly Veda study) and the utsarga (close of the yearly Veda study). A bride's entry into the house, worship of trees, and the Godavari. Daily rites and the yearly rite for the dead.
Simple meaning: Avoid ordeals in these times; a set Jupiter or Venus is no fault for some pilgrimages and rites.
उद्वाहर्क्षहरित्रयादितिहयेज्यर्क्षैस्तडागादयो ज्ञेज्याब्जैस्तनुगैः सिते दशमगे सिध्यंति सद्वासरे । राजेक्षा श्रवणत्रयध्रुवमृदुक्षिप्रैः स्वकेंद्रायगैः सौम्यैः शांतिकपौष्टिके सचरभैरेतैः सुधर्मोदये ॥ १६ ॥
Dig tanks and meet the king under good stars; do peace and growth rites with good planets placed well.
ईशानाहिबलौ हरेः शयनपर्यावर्तने नैत्यके याने जीर्णगृहेऽवरोहदमनारोपे पवित्रार्पणे । चातुर्मास्यविधौ न जीवसितयोर्मूढत्वदोषोष्टकासूत्साहांबरधारणेषु गदितो गर्भादिसप्तस्वपि ॥ १८ ॥
A set Jupiter or Venus does not matter for these rites, festivals and the first seven life rites.
शुक्रेज्यास्तमयेऽधिकक्षयजनुर्मासेषु जन्मर्क्षके नापूर्वामरतीर्थदर्शनमियाद्गोदागयाभ्यामृते । एष्वाषाढसहस्यविष्णुशयनेष्वप्यंत्यकर्म त्यजेद्यद्वर्षाधिकलंबितं भवति तद्गोदागयातोऽन्यतः ॥ १९ ॥
Do not visit a new holy place when Venus or Jupiter is set; delayed last rites wait too.
