This hymn leads to heaven. It removes disease and bestows long life. This is worthy of the highest praise, and is consistent with the Vedas. That person, O Partha, who recites this hymn with a pure heart observing the vow of celibacy, and with his senses under restraint, regularly for one whole year, succeeds in acquiring the fruits of a horse sacrifice, Danavas and Yakshas and Rakshasas and Pishachas and Yatudhanas and Guhyakas and snakes can do no harm to him.
स्वर्ण्यमारोग्यमायुष्यं धन्यं वेदेन सम्मितम्। नास्य विनं विकुर्वन्ति दानवा यक्षराक्षसाः। पिशाचा यातुधाना वा गुह्यका भुजगा अपि॥ यः पठेत शुचिः पार्थ ब्रह्मचारी जितेन्द्रियः। अभग्नयोगो वर्षं तु सोऽश्वमेधफलं लभेत्॥
