— Shubhashubha Prakarana, varjya tithi-nakshatra for jatakarma
, around verses 89-90 (Pyarelal Mishra ed., lines 2971-3001)
MC lists Ashtami as parva-tithi to be avoided for jatakarma; Mula and Ashtami separately marked as ugra. Tue+Ashtami+Mula is a tantric combination derived from Mars-Ketu lordship and ugra-tithi confluence; no single classical verse names the triad.
Hindupedia — Yogas/Mangala Ashtami Mula, Tantric Mars-Ketu ugra combinationModern tantric tradition; classical corpus does not enumerate this triad explicitly.
Mula/Jyeshtha/Ardra/Ashlesha + Saturday classed as 'tikshna-daruna' — fit for abhichara, ghata, pashu-damana, root-breaking work; Tuesday (Mars) is the krura-vara equivalent of Saturday for such karma.
Matsya Purana — Adbhuta-shanti-adhyaya (Mula-nakshatra adbhutas), verse 27 (Gita Press ed., lines 113101-113150) — 'मूले वरुणदैवत्ये ये भवन्त्यद्भुतास्तथा ... वारुणी ... महाशान्तिः'Establishes Mula's Varuna-daivatya and the prescribed Varuni-mahashanti — confirms Mula's intense, root-disturbing nature suited to Tuesday's Mars-energy for research and abhichara.
