Likewise he who adores Krishna every day as Upendra, acquires oneness with him. After Krishna has been adored thus, one should, at the conclusion of his vow, feed a number of Brahmanas or make gifts of clarified butter to them. The illustrious Vishnu, that ancient Being, has himself said that there is no fast which possesses superior merits.
अहन्यहनि तद्भावमुपेन्द्रं योऽधिगच्छति। समाप्ते भोजयेद् विप्रानथवा दापयेद् घृतम्॥ अतः परं नोपवासो भवतीति विनिश्चयः। उवाच भगवान् विष्णुः स्वयमेव पुरातनम्॥
