Shiva, Vishnu, Hari, Ravi, Kama, Sarva and Kali. Then Chandra and the Vishvedevas. The lords of the tithi (moon day) called Darsha are remembered as the ancestors.
Simple meaning: The list of moon-day gods goes on. The new moon day is ruled by the ancestors.
नंदाभद्राजयारिक्ता पूर्णाः स्युस्तिथयः पुनः ।
