What Krittika is said to favour
a sharp day: good for the difficult thing, poor for the delicate oneKrittika is listed among the sharp asterisms; the chapter reserves them for hard, cutting work — Agni Purāṇa 126.11–16
Suited to what the chapter gives this face: the chapter gives it digging, foundations, medicine, teaching.Krittika is downward-faced — Agni Purāṇa 126.17–28
