The sage said — O Brahmin! The names of the Sankranti on the seven days of the week beginning from Sunday are Ghora (घोरा), Dhhvankshi (ध्वाङ्क्षी), Mahodari (महोदरी), Manda (मन्दा), Mandakini (मन्दाकिनी), Mishra (मिश्रा), and Rakshasi (राक्षसी), in that order. The person born at the Sankranti (entry of the Sun in a new sign) is poor and unhappy but he becomes well to do and happy if remedial measures are undertaken. I am now going to describe the remedial measures to nullify these evil effects.

कुमारजन्म काले तु व्यतीपातश्च वैधृतिः । संक्रान्तिश्च रवेस्तत्र जातो दारिद्र्यकारकः । । 1 । । पराशर बोले- बालक के जन्मसमय व्यतीपात, वैधृति, संक्रान्ति हो तो परम अशुभ है । संक्रान्ति से ठीक संक्रान्ति समय से 16 घड़ी (6 घंटे 24 मिनट) पहले व इतनी ही घड़ियों बाद तक समझें ।
