I celebrated the Ekaratri (onenight's) sacrifice (consisting of fasts and gifts) for ten times, and the Pancharatri (fivenights) sacrifices for as many times. I performed eleven times the Ekadashratri sacrifice. I performed a hundred times the great sacrifices of Jyotishtoma. It is not, however, through the merits of those sacrifices that I have acquired this region of happiness.
नेकादशैकादशकान् क्रतूंश्च। ज्योतिष्टोमानां च शतं यदिष्टं फलेन तेनापि च नागतोऽहम्॥
