up from Surrounded by the most beautiful ladies, he lives in the region of Indra. That man who takes only one meal every third day, and pours libations every day on his sacred fire for a period of a whole year, indeed, he who thus attends to his fire every day and wakes sleep every morning before sun rise, acquires the high merit of the Atiratra sacrifice. He acquires a car drawn by peacocks and swans and cranes.
हंससारसयुक्तं च विमानं लभते नरः। इन्द्रलोके च वसते वरस्त्रीभिः समावृतः॥ तृतीये दिवसे यस्तु प्राचीयादेकभोजनम्। सदा द्वादशमासांस्तु जुह्वानो जातवेदसम्॥ अग्निकार्यपरो नित्यं नित्यं कल्यप्रबोधनः। अतिरात्रस्य यज्ञस्य फलं प्राप्नोत्यनुत्तमम्॥
