That man who, keeping his senses under restraint, fasts for a fortnight and takes only one meal on the sixteenth day, and acts thus for a whole year, pouring libations every day on his sacred fire, acquires the great merits of a thousand Rajasuya sacrifices. The car he rides, is highly beautiful and is drawn by swans and peacocks.
देवकन्यानिवासे च तस्मिन् वसति मानवः। जाह्नवीवालुकाकीर्णं पूर्णे संवत्सरं नरः॥ यस्तु पक्षे गते भुङ्क्ते एकभक्तं जितेन्द्रियः। सदा द्वादशमासान् जुह्वानो जातवेदसम्॥ राजसूयसहस्रस्य फलं प्राप्नोत्यनुत्तमम्। यानमारोहते दिव्यं हंसबहिणसेवितम्॥
