Manu 3.278
यथा च-एव-अपरः पक्षः पूर्वपक्षाद् विशिष्यते) । तथा श्राद्धस्य पूर्वाह्णाद् अपराह्णो विशिष्यते) ॥
yathā ca-eva-aparaḥ pakṣaḥ pūrvapakṣād viśiṣyate) | tathā śrāddhasya pūrvāhṇād aparāhṇo viśiṣyate) ||
Devanagari rendered by HREEM from the edition's roman (IAST) text; the IAST is the edition's own.
As the second half of the month is preferable to the first half, even so the afternoon is better for (the performance of) a funeral sacrifice than the forenoon.
