For auspicious time: with dung-smoke

When the asterisms made the çakadhū́ma their king, they bestowed on him auspicious (bhadrá-) day, saying "This shall be [his] royalty."

English · William Dwight Whitney

Auspicious day ours at noon, auspicious day be ours at evening, auspicious day ours in the morning of the days; be night auspicious day for us.

English · William Dwight Whitney

From day-and-night, from the asterisms, from sun-and-moon, do thou, O king çakadhū́ma, make auspicious day for us.

English · William Dwight Whitney

Thou who hast made auspicious day for us at evening, by night, also by day—to thee as such, O çakadhū́ma, king of the asterisms, [be] always homage.
