Adhyaya 33 — Madālasa on the Fruit of Śrāddha Performed on Lunar Days and Nakṣatras
स्त्रियो नवम्यां प्राप्रोति दशम्यां पूर्णकामताम् । वेदांस्तथाप्नुयात् सर्वानेकादश्यां क्रियापरः ॥
striyo navamyāṃ prāpnoti daśamyāṃ pūrṇa-kāmatām / vedāṃs tathāpnuyāt sarvān ekādaśyāṃ kriyā-paraḥ
À Navamī, on obtient des femmes (c’est-à-dire la réussite dans le mariage et la compagnie) ; à Daśamī, on atteint l’accomplissement total des désirs. Et à Ekādaśī, celui qui est voué aux rites obtient tous les Veda, c’est-à-dire une science sacrée intégrale.
