Shlok 82

Vithalnath has explained that if the tenth day Dasham) is one with a duration of a 54 Gadis and 59 Paras (1 Gadi = 24 mins, 1 Para = 24 seconds) hence 24 hours and 42 minutes then the Dasham is said to be without Vegh If however the Dasham is 55 Gadis hence 22 hours then the Dasham is said to be with Vegh.  For those Dashams with Vegh, the eleventh day should not be taken for Ekadashi Vrata Upvaas.  The twelvth day should be taken instead.  If the half-month contains two Ekadashis or two Dvadashis (twelfth days) then the second of the two days should be taken for performing Upavaas Vrata in such situation. 

If Janamastmi is said to occur during sunrise then that day should be used for Janamastmi Vrata.  If the seventh day is with Vegh or if the eighth day is with Vegh or if the eighth day is with Kshaya (decaying) then the ninth day should be taken for the Vrata.  If two Ashtamis (eighth days) occur then the first of the two should be taken.

Only that Vaman Jayanti, whose previous day has Vishnushrunkhla Yoga should be used.  For Ramanavmi, the ninth day without Vegh of the eighth day should be taken.  If the ninth day is with Vegh or if it is with Kshaya then that day should still be taken.  If there are two ninth days then the first should be taken.  If there is Chandra Darshan on the first day of Kartika then Ankoot Utsava should be celebrated the day before (Amavasya).  Vithalnath has not outlined Shivaratri and so Shatanand explains that Samayamayukh and others should be used.  If Shivaratri spreads over after twelve o’clock at night then the first day should be taken.  If Shivaratri spreads over two nights then the second day should be taken.  Thus in this way the important Vratas are explained.  I am not sure how much of this anyone out there understands, but I have to my limited knowledge translated as best I can.  This Shloka really stems into Jyotisha Shastra - Science of Astrology and so one needs to have an understanding of such subject to fully understand the influence of time, planets and stars upon Vrata days. 

Also, Vithalnath’s teachings upon service to Lord Krishna (Sevaritischa Krishnasya) involving what clothing, ornaments and food to offer to God at different times should be accepted.  The path of service, devotion (Seva-Bhakti) as explained in Varshika Vratotsav Vidhi should be thus accepted.
