O king, One should then go Badaripachana, the herinitage of Vasishtha. A man, fasting there for three nights, should eat Badari (Jujubes). He who lives on Badari for twelve years. And, O ruler of men, he who fasts there for three nights, obtains equal merits. O king, going to Rudra-marga, the pilgrim is adored in the region of Indra by fasting one day and night. to
बदरीपाचनं गच्छेद् वसिष्ठस्याश्रमं ततः॥ बदरी भक्षयेत् तत्र त्रिरात्रोपोषितो नरः। सम्यग् द्वादशवर्षाणि बदरी भक्षयेत् तु यः॥ त्रिरात्रोपोषितस्तेन भवेत् तुल्यो नराधिप। रुद्रमार्ग समासाद्य तीर्थसेवी नराधिप॥ अहोरात्रोपवासेन शक्रलोके महीयते।
