tor says that according to the tithi preceeding the Parbatithi should be taken but in case of the two consecutive parbatithis, if the latter is Kshaya, the former parbatithi is not to be considered Kshaya, The answer is that the former tithi is considered Kshaya in order to preserve the sanctity of the parbatithi, but in case of two consecutive parbatithis, in saving the latter, the former parbatithi is wasted. Hence the clear meaning of the above authority is that the tithi pareceeding the parbatithis should be' considered Kshaya. There is another clear authority to support this in हीरप्रश्न:- पूर्णिमायां त्रुटितायां त्रयोदशीचतुर्दश्योः क्रियते'.' Its clear meaning is that if purnima is Kshaya, the Tap' of Chrturdashi should be on Trayodashi and Purnima's Tap should be made on Chaturdashi, The suggestions* of the Arbitrator, that all Chaturdashis are not parbatithis that some Chaturdashi is parbatithi and that Tap should be performed on Trayodashi in case of Chaturdashi which is parbatithi, that when chaturdashi is not parbatithi it can be observed as Purnima. All these suggestions are made possible by the improper dropping. out of the words "" from the quoted authority. By the use of two words, Trayodashi-Chaturdashi the occasion of two consecutive and contigumous parbatithis is made apparent. The Arbitrator rejects the claims of Acharya Sagaranandasuri in face of such strong authorities and therefore the Arbitrator's decision seems partial and call for re-consideration.
