Proshitapadomatsu

Praushṭhapada is a calendrical month identified in the book’s explanatory notes with Bhādra and the modern name Bhadon. The note gives its span as half of August and half of September, placing it across parts of two consecutive months in the modern calendar.

Names and Calendar Placement

The note lists Praushthapada and Bhādra as alternative names and identifies Bhadon as the modern equivalent. Its date range is approximate: the month corresponds to the latter half of August and the first half of September, rather than occupying either modern month in full.

Significance in the Text

The identification provides a calendar gloss for readers encountering the month in the narrative. It links the book’s traditional month-name to a modern seasonal date range; the note supplies no further events or month-specific customs.
