नित्यनैमित्तिकं कालात्सद्यः काम्ये स्वनुष्ठिते । नित्यं मासं च पक्षं च वर्षं चैव यथाक्रमम् ३१ ।
The daily and occasional rites yield their benefits in due course but the fruits of Kāmya rites are instantaneous. The necessary rites are performed everyday. The occasional rites are performed in particular months, fortnights, years or on special occasions.
तत्तत्कर्मफलप्राप्तिस्तादृक्पापक्षयः क्रमात् । महागणपतेः पूजा चतुर्थ्यां कृष्णपक्षके ३२ ।
In the Kāmya rites one derives the fruits after the sin has been duly quelled. Mahāgaṇapati Pūjā shall be performed on the Caturthī day of the dark half of the lunar month.
पक्षपापक्षयकरी पक्षभोगफलप्रदा । चैत्रे चतुर्थ्यां पूजा च कृता मासफलप्रदा ३३ ।
That rite wipes off the sin of the whole fortnight and yields enjoyment for full fortnight. The worship performed on the Caturthī day of the lunar month of Cakra accords benefit for a month.
वर्षभोगप्रदा ज्ञेया कृता वै सिंहभाद्र के । श्रवण्यादित्यवारे च सप्तम्यां हस्तभे दिने ३४ ।
The worship performed in the months of Siṃha and Bhādrapada accords enjoyment of worldly pleasures for a year. The worship of the sun shall be performed on Sundays, or Saptamī (seventh) day or in the star Hasta of the month of Śrāvaṇa or on the Saptamī in the bright half of the month of Māgha.
माघशुक्ले च सप्तम्यामादित्ययजनं चरेत् । ज्येष्ठभाद्र कसौम्ये च द्वादश्यां श्रवर्णक्षके ३५ ।
The worship of Viṣṇu is conducive to the attainment of all desires and wealth if performed on Wednesdays, Dvādaśī (12th) day or in the star of Śravaṇa in the months of Jyeṣṭha and Bhādrapada.
