On the twelfth lunar day, as also on the day of the full moon, every month, one should make gifts to Brahmanas of clarified butter and of Akshata. Listen to me as I say what the measure is of the merit that such a person wins.
द्वादश्यां पौर्णमास्यां च मासि मासि घृताक्षतम्। ब्राह्मणेभ्यः प्रयच्छेत तस्य पुण्यं निबोधत॥
