Note 3 — CHAPTER 6
Reading edition
[The Amāvas, or last day of the month, is unlucky for all undertakings, and is kept as a day of rest by traders, shopkeepers, and craftsmen. If the last day falls on a Monday, it is specially taboo, and people bathe in a river or pool and make gifts to Brāhmans (BG, ix. Part i. 397). Pūs falls in January and February.]
