Chapter LXXIII

3. '_Jap-tap_: prayers, personal office, daily ritual,--(_japa_ or offerings of water, _tapas_ or 'rule').

8. The moon is brother to the poison, since both were produced at the Churning of the Ocean: a thief because he stole Tārā, the wife of Brihaspati: vomited (unclean) because he escapes from Rāhu's jaws at each eclipse; cruel because his rays are scorching fires to divided lovers; slayer of lilies, because the day-lotus wilts at night; yet in spite of these enormities, some merit makes him bright.

13. _Saba guṇa mula amula_: A thought akin to that of LXIII.
