He who fasts for ten days and cats only clarified butter on every eleventh day for one full year and pours libations on his sacred fire every day, who never, in word or thought, seeks the company of other people's wives and who never utters a false hood even for the sake of his mother and father, succeeds in seeing Mahadeva of great power seated on his car. Such a person acquires the great merit of a thousand Horse sacrifices.
एकादशे तु दिवसे यः प्राप्ते प्राशते हविः। सदा द्वादशमासान् वै जुह्वानो जातवेदसम्॥ परस्त्रियं नाभिलषेद् वाचाथ मनसापि वा। अनृतं च न भोषेत मातापित्रोः कृतेपि वा॥ अभिगच्छेन्महादेवं विमानस्थं महाबलम्। अश्वमेधसहस्रस्य फलं प्राप्नोत्यनुत्तमम्॥
