Vīramitrodaya
Author of a dharmaśāstra digest (Hemādri) cited for interpretive rulings on fasting and Yama-Dvitīyā.
" 'Adopted ones' (*pratipannakāḥ*) means those who are considered as sisters, according to Hemādri.
In the *Hemādri* and *Madanaratna*, however, it is said that in the case of a fast, where a *tithi* conjoined with the previous one is prohibited, as Dvitīyā conjoined with Pratipad, there, if the Dvitīyā, though conjoined with a Pratipad of less than three *muhūrtas*, is present on the next day even for less than three *muhūrtas*, then the next day is to be chosen.
This is from a verse cited in the *Hemādri*.
