About
Budhāṣṭamī
Budhāṣṭamī (बुधाष्टमी) is the Aṣṭamī of the bright fortnight that falls on a Wednesday, the day of Budha. The Dharmasindhu takes it up in its chapter on the Ashtami tithi.
In the month of Pausha, the Dharmasindhu asks that on the Shukla Ashtami falling on a Wednesday one bathe, do japa, homa and tarpana, and feed Brahmanas. With Bharaṇī nakshatra that day, some say, it is of very great merit; others say this of Rohiṇī or Ardra.
पौषशुक्लाष्टम्यां बुधवासरयुतायां स्नानजपहोमतर्पणविप्रभोजनानि कार्याणि। अस्यां भरणीयोगे महापुण्यत्वमित्येके। रोहिण्यार्द्रायोगे इत्यपरे॥
pauṣaśuklāṣṭamyāṃ budhavāsarayutāyāṃ snānajapahomatarpaṇaviprabhojanāni kāryāṇi, asyāṃ bharaṇīyoge mahāpuṇyatvam ity eke, rohiṇyārdrāyoge ity apare.
"On the Shukla Ashtami of Pausha joined with a Wednesday, bath, japa, homa, tarpana and the feeding of Brahmanas are to be done. With Bharani it is of very great merit, say some; with Rohini or Ardra, say others."
Dharmasindhu, Dvitiya Pariccheda (Pausha)
