That man who having fasted for twentyeight days, takes a single meal on the twentyninth day, and acts thus for a full year, observing all the while truthfulness of speech, acquires auspicious regions of great happiness that are adored by celestial Rishis and royal sages. The car he obtains is effulgent like the sun and the moon made of pure gold and adorned with every sort of gem, ridden by Apsaras and Gandharvas singing melodiously.
एकोनत्रिंशे दिवसे यः प्राशेदेकभोजनम्॥ सदा द्वादशमासान् वै जुह्वानो सत्यव्रतपरायणः। तस्य लोका: शुभा दिव्या देवराजर्षिपूजिताः॥ विमानं सूर्यचन्द्राभं दिव्यं समधिगच्छति। जातरूपमय युक्तं सर्वरत्नसमन्वितम्॥ अप्सरोगणसम्पूर्ण गन्धर्वैरभिनादितम्।
