caturthe māsi kartavyaṃ śiśor niṣkramaṇaṃ gṛhāt | ṣaṣṭhe 'nnaprāśanaṃ māsi yad veṣṭaṃ maṅgalaṃ kule ||The verse places niṣkramaṇa in the fourth month and annaprāśana in the sixth, while explicitly recognizing what is customary in the family.
Verification boundary
The verse does not establish the former first-sun-darśana narrative, direct-sunlight instruction, or Jyotiṣa prescription.
Mantra, procedure, timing, and health boundary
Vidhyamitra does not publish a “primary mantra,” canonical procedure, modern adaptation, medical effect, or personal timing instruction for this rite until each claim is checked against a named edition and address. Living ritual performance belongs with a qualified guru or paṇḍita in the relevant family and regional paramparā; medical care belongs with qualified clinicians.
Sources and Connected Saṁskāra Readings
After the record's textual witness and verification boundary, these links connect the received catalogue, source-status context, hosted thematic readings, and Vidhyamitra's Bindu and philosophy foundations. A connected reading is not evidence for a rite's mantra, procedure, timing, or medical effect.
