Description of manuscript content:

The text mentions finding out the auspicious and inauspicious days and times. The auspicious days are good and lucky for organizing ceremonies, particularly for the wedding ceremony and the ceremony for a new house, and for a long journey. The inauspicious days are not good for a long journey. Some people believe that if anybody goes out for a long journey on the inauspicious day, the one will confront dangers and unluckiness.
