The Second Twelve-Month Vrata: Dvitīyā Observances and Their Fruits
समभ्यर्च्य निशारंभे भुक्तिमुक्तिफलं भवेत् । अथवास्मिन्दिने भक्त्या दस्रावभ्यर्च्य यत्नतः ॥ ४ ॥
samabhyarcya niśāraṃbhe bhuktimuktiphalaṃ bhavet | athavāsmindine bhaktyā dasrāvabhyarcya yatnataḥ || 4 ||
Si l’on rend un culte juste au commencement de la nuit, le fruit obtenu est à la fois la jouissance en ce monde et la délivrance (mokṣa). Ou bien, en ce jour même, en adorant avec bhakti et effort appliqué les Dasra (les Aśvin), on obtient ce même fruit.
