"In Āgama scriptures, Omniscient Tirthankaras have enumerated parvas thus : six eight-day-festivals which are as under: 1. The Paryusaņā festival, 2, 3, 4. three eight-day-festivals of the month of Kārtika, Phāgana and Āsādha, 5-6. two eternal (śāśvati) eight-day-festivals (though they contain nine days) of months Caitra and Āśvina. These are all called Atthai i.e. eight-day-festivals. There are six parva-tithis in a month or five parva-tithis in a fortnight, ten parva-tithis in a month. On these auspicious days, a human being perhaps acquires the life-span for next birth and other auspicious karma for the next birth. It is said in the Mahānisithasūtra, "O Lord! What is the result of observing religious rules on parva-tithis such as the second day etc. of each fortnight etc.? Gautama ! The result attained is great. A living being probably binds āyuşya (life-span) of the next birth on these days of parva-tithis. Laymen, laywomen, monks and nuns should therefore, perform penance etc. with auspicious thoughts." In the same scripture, there is a further verse as under : द्वितीयाद्याः पञ्च पक्षे, मासे षट् तिथयोऽथवा | सावद्यारम्भसच्चित्तत्यागं तास्वेव भावयेः ।। dvitiyādyāḥ pañca paksē, māsē sat tithayö'thavā . sāvadyārambhasaccittatyāgam tāsvēva bhāvayāḥ ..
