Brahmanas of righteous deeds, who have been purified by knowledge, study of the Vedas, and observance of vows, should, only in the midst of sacred fires or kine or conclaves of Brahmanas, impart to their disciples a knowledge of the Gomati Mantras which are in every way like a sacrifice. One should observed a fast for three nights for receiving the boon formed by a knowledge of the meaning of the Gomati Mantras.
अग्निमध्ये गवां मध्ये ब्राह्मणानां च संसदि। विद्यादेवव्रतस्नाता ब्राह्मणाः पुण्यकर्मिणः॥ अध्यापयेरन्शिष्यान् वै गोमतों यज्ञसम्मिताम्। त्रिरात्रापोषितो भूत्वा गोमती लभते वरम्॥
