Notes:

Skanda ##skanda## outlines the procedures and merits of observing Māsika Śivarātri ##mAsika shivarAtri## on Kṛṣṇa Caturdaśi ##kR^iShNa chaturdashI## of respective months, with mention of the Names of Śiva ##shiva## for respective māsa ##mAsa## (though the Names for Śrāvaṇa ##shrAvaNa## and Puṣya ##puShya## are repeated, and those for Māgha ##mAgha## and Phālguna ##phAlguna## seem to have not been specified). It has also been noted that Aṣṭamī ##aShTamI## and Pūrṇimā ##pUrNimA## have been mentioned (instead of Kṛṣṇa Caturdaśi ##kR^iShNa chaturdashI##) wrt Aśvāyuja ##ashvAyuja##.
