That man who having fasted for twentyone day, and acts thus for a full year, pouring libations on his sacred fire every day, abstaining from injuring any creature, observing truthfulness of speech, and freed from malice, acquires the regions of the Vasus and becomes endued with solar effulgence.
द्वाविंशे दिवसे प्राप्ते यो भुङ्क्ते ह्येकभोजनम्॥ सदा द्वादशमासान् वै जुह्वानो जातवेदसम्। अहिंसानिरतो धीमान् सत्यवागनसूयकः॥ लोकान् वसूनामाप्नोति दिवाकरसमप्रभः।
