Such a person enjoys all kinds of happiness in Heaven for fifty thousand years. He who passes a whole year, o king, taking food only at intervals of a fortnight, gains the merit of a continuous fast for six months. This has been said by the illustrious Angirasa himself. Such a man Lives in Heaven for sixty thousand years.
पञ्चाशतं सहस्राणि वर्षाणां दिवि मोदते। पक्षे पक्षे गते राजन् योऽश्नीयाद् वर्षमेव तु॥ षण्मासानशनं तस्य भगवानङ्गिराऽब्रवीत्। षष्टिवर्षसहस्राणि दिवमावसते च सः॥
