**Somasen Bhattaraka Composed**
**Midday Sandhya is fruitful when performed at midday. An action performed out of time bears little or no fruit.** || 136 ||
**AM**
**Monday**
Complete the Sandhya related to the morning before sunrise. Perform the Sandhya related to the evening before the stars are visible. Similarly, perform the Sandhya related to the two Prahars at the time of the two Prahars. An action performed at its proper time is the one that yields the best results. And that which is not performed at its proper time bears very little fruit or no fruit at all. || 135 || 136 ||
If two Ghatiks of time pass, there is no fault. But in this matter, there are criticisms from people. || 137 ||
The best Sandhya is the one performed before the stars disappear, the middle one is the one performed after the stars disappear, and the worst one is the one performed with the sun. The morning Sandhya is considered to be of three types. || 138 ||
The junction of day and night, devoid of the sun and stars, is called Sandhya by the wise sages who see the truth. || 139 ||
The best Sandhya should be performed in the third or fifth part of the day. Performing the midday Sandhya at this time is the best. Performing the midday Sandhya at any other time should be considered fruitless, as before. || 140 ||
