By making gifts, under the constellation Vishakha, of a bull, and a cow giving profuse milk, a cart full of paddy, with a Prasanga for covering the same, and also cloths for wear, a person pleases the departed manes and the deities and acquires external merit in the other world. Such a person never meets with any calamity and certainly reaches Heaven.
विशाखायामनड्वाहं धनुं दत्त्वा च दुग्धदाम्। सप्रासङ्गं च शकटं सधान्यं वस्त्रसंयुतम्॥ पितॄन् देवांश्च प्रीणाति प्रेत्य चानन्त्यमश्नुते। न च दुर्गाण्यवाप्नोति स्वर्गलोकं च गच्छति॥
