Accordingly, regarding the benefit in the rites of Devayajña:—“[...] that period [viz, of complete Solar eclipse (ūⲹṇa)] is specially holy inasmuch as it is intended for the alleviation of the after-effects of poison. The birth-star (ᲹԳṣa), and the concluding period of holy rites are of the same efficacy as the period of Solar eclipse�.

The Purana (पुरा�, purāṇas) refers to Sanskrit literature preserving ancient India’s vast cultural history, including historical legends, religious ceremonies, various arts and sciences. The eighteen mahapuranas total over 400,000 shlokas (metrical couplets) and date to at least several centuries BCE.
