Aśleṣā (No. 43; cf. No. 44), a nakṣatra (the ninth when

beginning with Aśvinī; its star of junction is supposed to be

ε Hydræ; v. Sū° Si°, p. 188). XIII, 64, 3262 (C. has A°,

B. Ā°) (Ānuśāsanik.) (°yān tu yo rūpyam ṛṣabhaṃ vā

prayacchati sa sarvabhayanirmuktaḥ sambhavān adhitiṣṭhati;

“nakṣatrayogasya dānakalpam,” 63, 3212); 89, 4259

(who gives a śrāddha “āśleṣāyām” procreates intelligent

sons) (śrāddhakalpe); 132, 6162 (Ānuśāsanik.) (C.: kārttike

māsi cāśleṣā bahulaś cāṣṭamī śivā. B. has bahulasyāṣṭamī):

on the 8th day of the dark half of the month Kārttika, when

the moon is in conjunction, with Aśleṣā, a brahman,

kṣattriya, vaiśya, or śūdra may, after having fasted at

a śrāddha, after the setting of the sun, deposit an offering of

black clothes and unguents with flowers in an ant-hill,

begging the serpents to hand it over to the world-elephants

to increase their strength that it may be equal to the

strength of Viṣṇu, when he lifted up Earth; the formula

is contained in vv. 7163—6; this he should do for a

whole year.
