He who fasts on the twelfth day of the moon in the month of Chaitra and adores Krishna as Vishnu, for the whole day and night acquires the merit of the Pundarika sacrifice and proceeds to the region of the celestials.
अहोरात्रेण द्वादश्यां चैत्रे विष्णुरिति स्मरन्। पौण्डरीकमवाप्नोति देवलोकं च गच्छति॥
