During the months of January, February and March, oblations offered to the forefathers are called ashtaka-sraddha. The sraddha ceremony is held during the dark fortnight of the month. When Maharaja Ikshvaku was performing his oblations in this ceremony, he ordered his son Vikukshi to go immediately to the forest to bring some pure flesh.
