adya candro'bhyupagataḥ puṣyātpūrvaṃ punarvasū| śvaḥ puṣyayogaṃ niyataṃ vakṣyante daivacintakāḥ
Today the Moon is in conjunction with the Punarvasu constellation. Tomorrow the Moon's conjunction with the Pushya constellation is certain and the astrologers say this auspicious time is highly suitable for the purpose of coronation.
— M.N. Dutt (1891)
The Moon is in Punarvasu tonight; tomorrow it moves to Pushya. The detailed astronomy fixes the timing precisely. The epic wants us to know exactly when the coronation was meant to happen, so that we feel the weight of every hour that passes.
