Shloka 273
मानसतीर्थ-शौचप्रशंसा | Praise of the ‘Mental Tīrtha’ and the Marks of Purity
Devanagari script
गवां मेधस्य यज्ञस्य फल प्राप्नोत्यनुत्तमम् । जो बारह महीनेतक सदा अन्निहोत्र करता, तीनों संध्याओंके समय स्नान करता, ब्रह्मचर्यका पालन करता, दूसरोंके दोष नहीं देखता तथा मुनिवृत्तिसे रहकर प्रति छठे दिन एक बार भोजन करता है, वह गोमेध यज्ञका सर्वोत्तम फल पाता है
Translation
He attains the unsurpassed fruit of the Gomedha sacrifice. One who for twelve months continually performs Agnihotra, bathes at the three sandhyā times, observes brahmacarya, does not look for others’ faults, lives with the conduct of a muni, and eats only once every sixth day—such a person gains the highest merit of the Gomedha-yajña.
