By observing a fast on the twelfth lunar day in the month of Jaishtha and adoring Krishna as him who had covered the universe with three steps of his, one acquires the merits of the Gomedha sacrifice and sports with the Apsaras in great happiness.
अहोरात्रेण द्वादश्यां ज्येष्ठे मासि त्रिविक्रमम्। गवां मेधमवाप्नोति अप्सरोभिश्च मोदते॥
