O son of Pandu, those that have fasted for six nights, go on cars drawn by peacocks. O son of Pandu, he who fasts for three nights taking only one meal without a second goes to a region free from disease and anxiety. The water has this excellent property that it produces happiness in the region of the dead.
तथा बर्हिप्रयुक्तैश्च षष्ठरात्रोपवासिनः। त्रिरात्रं क्षपते यस्तु एकभक्तेन पाण्डव॥ अन्तरा चैव नाश्नाति तस्य लोका ह्यनामयाः। पानीयस्य गुणा दिव्याः प्रेतलोकसुखावहाः॥
