Translation
Among the vigilant cycles of time I am the year, and among seasons I am spring. Among months I am Mārgaśīrṣa, and among lunar houses I am the auspicious Abhijit.
Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)
Among measures of time, I am the year, and among seasons, I am spring. Among months, I am Mārgaśīrṣa, and among constellations, I am the auspicious Abhijit.
Among measurements of time I am the year. Among season I am spring. Among constellations I am Abhijit, the fourth part of Uttarāśāḍhā constellation and the first quartert of Śravaṇa constellation. This is explained by śruti. Abhijin nāma nakṣatram upariṣṭād aṣāḍhānām adhas tāc chroṇāyāḥ: Abhijit constellation is last part of Uttarāśādḥā and the first part of Śravaṇa constellation.
