Description
Darśapaurṇamāsa is a yajña (sacrifice) that is an important part of the Iṣṭi class of sacrifices. Darśa means “amāvasyā” (new moon) and paurṇamāsī means “full moon.” This sacrifice is performed during a two-day period — one associated with the new moon and the other with the full moon. It spans two days starting from the day of the full moon, and likewise, two days starting from the day of the new moon. This manuscript contains the prayoga section, which discusses the customs and procedures of the rituals performed during the Darśapaurṇamāsa according to Baudhāyana. This text is same as the Item 69.
