Fasting for three days successively, he who takes only one meal every fourth day, and pours libations every day on his sacred fire, acquires the great merit of the Vajapeya sacrifice. The car he acquires is graced by highly beautiful celestial ladies who have Indra for their father.
निवर्तनं च तत्रास्य त्रीणि पद्यानि वै विभुः। दिवसे यश्चतुर्थे तु प्राश्नीयादेकभोजनम्॥ सदा द्वादशमासान् वै जुह्वानो जातवेदसम्। वाजपेयस्य यज्ञस्य फलं प्राप्नोत्यनुत्तमम्॥
