That man who takes one meal in the forenoon and one at night, without taking any food or drink during the interval and who observes this regulation for a period of six years successively abstaining all the while from injuring any creature and regularly pouring libations on his sacred fire every day, attains, forsooth, to success. Such a man acquires hereafter a car of the colour of heated gold, and acquires a residence, for millions of years, in the region of Prajapati, in the company of celestial ladies, that ever echoes with the sound of music and dance, and shines with the effulgence of fire.
अहिंसानिरतो नित्यं जुह्वानो जातवेदसम्। षड्भिरेव स वषैस्तु सिध्यते नात्र संशयः॥ तप्तकाञ्चनवर्णं च विमानं लभते नरः। देवस्त्रीणामधीवसे नृत्यगीतनिनादिते॥ प्राजापत्ये वसेत् पद्मं वर्षाणामग्निसंनिभे।
