76. All my disciples should practise special religious
observances during the four special months (beginning with
Asha.dha). But those who are sickly need only practise the same
in the one month of Srava.na only.

77. Reading and listening to the exploits of Vish.nu, singing
his praises, solemn worship, repetition of his mantra ("Great
K.rish.na is my refuge"), recitation of the hymn of praise
(__i.e.__ of the thousand names of Vish.nu), reverential
circumambulations (from left to right with the right side towards
the object adored),

78. Prostration with the eight members (of the body) these are
considered the best religious observances; any one of these ought
to be performed with special devotion.

79. The fasts of all the eleventh days (of the waxing and waning
moon) should be carefully observed; also of the birthdays of
K.rish.na; and of the night of Siva (__Siva-ratri__) with
rejoicings during the day.

80. On a fast-day sleeping by day should most carefully be
avoided, since by such sleep the merit of fasting is lost to men,
quite as much as by sexual intercourse.

81. Whatever appointed order of religious fasts and festivals
(vrata and utsava) was enjoined by Sri Vi.th.thalesa
(Vi.th.thala-natha), who was the son of Sri Vallabhacarya, the
most eminent of Vaish.navas.
