That who having fasted for twentythree days eats a little clarified butter on the twentyfourth day, and acts thus for a full year, pouring libations on his sacred fire, lives for countless years in great happiness in the regions of the Adityas, his body decked with celestial dresses and garlands and celestial perfumes and unguents.
चतुर्विंशे तु दिवसे यः प्राप्ते प्राशते हविः॥ सदा द्वादशमासांश्च जुह्वानो जातवेदसम्। आदित्यानामधीवासे मोदमानो वसेच्चिरम्॥ दिव्यमाल्याम्बरधरो दिव्यगन्धानुलेपनः।
