Which weekday and tithi combinations multiply the fruit of worship?
Saptami falling on a Sunday becomes of great importance; Shlosh or Amavasya falling on a Monday raises its importance greatly; Amavasya, Chaturdashi or Ashtami falling on a Tuesday carries special importance; Ashtami on a Wednesday is very specially important; and Pushya nakshatra or Ekadashi tithi on a Thursday becomes of great and divine importance.
Kanya pujan of one girl on every Ashtami speeds up the result of the prayoga.
Besides that, whenever there is time, go to Bhagwati's temple, offer dhoop and deep and keep making the prayer and petition. And if the problem is to be got out of very quickly, then certainly do the pujan of even one girl on every Ashtami — a girl within two to ten years of age, who has not become rajaswala. There is no need to look at caste; but if a girl of the Kshatriya varna is found, it will be most excellent.
