Uttara Phalguni

Uttara Phalguni is the calendrical marker used in a wedding schedule: the Moon is expected to shine in the second Phalguni on the third night, and a Phalguni day is praised as an exceptionally fortunate time for marriage. Its significance here is practical and ceremonial, fixing an auspicious point in the sequence of royal weddings.

Identification and Timing

The schedule first places the Moon in Magha on the night of the announcement, then forecasts that its benign rays will shine in the second Phalguni on the third night. The passage thus locates Uttara Phalguni within a short progression of lunar timing rather than treating it as an isolated name. It supplies no further astronomical calculation or description of the mansion.

Place in the Wedding Schedule

The wedding is planned around that forecast: the speaker identifies the last day of Phalguni, governed by a genial deity, as unequalled for marriage according to the wise. The passage also says that the four young men will marry four maidens on the same day, making the calendar choice a shared auspicious date for all four ceremonies.

Narrative Significance

Uttara Phalguni helps turn a forecast into a concrete plan. The lunar sequence establishes when the celebrations should occur, while the praise of the Phalguni day gives the chosen date ceremonial authority. The evidence presents the mansion through this wedding context; it does not develop a separate mythology or describe other occasions associated with it.
