Sūta said: Thus, the moon is sucked daily by the Devas. After imbibing it for a period of half a month, the excellent Devas go away on the New Moon day. The Pitṛs (thereafter) resort to the Moon on the New Moon day. Then on the fifteenth day when the digits are left over a little, the groups of Pitṛs resort to the last remanant (of the digits) in the afternoon. For a period of two Lavas, they imbibe the Kalās (of the moon) that are left over.
