AgP 181.1

:ए इत्य् आग्नेये महापुराणे पञ्चमीव्रतानि नाम अशीत्यधिकशततमो ऽध्यायः ॥ छप्तेर् {१८१} :श् अथैकाशीत्यधिकशततमो ऽध्यायः ॥ षष्ठीव्रतानि अग्निर् उवाच षष्ठीव्रतानि वक्ष्यामि कार्त्तिकादौ समाचरेत्(२) षष्ट्यां फलाशनो(३) ऽर्घ्याद्यैर् भुक्तिमुक्तिमवाप्नुयात्

:e ity āgneye mahāpurāṇe pañcamīvratāni nāma aśītyadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ || chapter {181} :ś athaikāśītyadhikaśatatamo 'dhyāyaḥ || ṣaṣṭhīvratāni agnir uvāca ṣaṣṭhīvratāni vakṣyāmi kārttikādau samācaret(2) ṣaṣṭyāṃ phalāśano(3) 'rghyādyair bhuktimuktimavāpnuyāt

Thus (ends) in the Āgneya Mahāpurāṇa the one hundred and eightieth chapter, called 'The Fifth-day Observances'. Chapter 181. Now the one hundred and eighty-first chapter: the Sixth-day Observances. Agni said: I shall declare the sixth-day observances; one should perform (them) beginning with Kārttika. On the sixth, eating (only) fruit, with water-offerings and the rest, one would obtain enjoyment and liberation.

[Variant readings: 1 'ārogyamukhamokṣadam' — ms. ṅa; 2 the passage from 'airāvata' up to 'kārttakādau samācaret' is absent in ms. jha; 3 'ṣaṣṭyāṃ malāśano 'rghyādyaiḥ' — ms. ṭa. p. 207] The Skanda-sixth observance has been declared; then, on the sixth in Bhādrapada, the imperishable (akṣaya) one. I shall declare the dark-fortnight sixth-day observance: one should perform it in Mārgaśīrṣa.
