द्वादश्यां च चतुर्दश्यां श्रद्धधानाः जितेन्द्रियाः ॥ फलानि तस्य पश्यन्ति लभन्ते न सुनिश्चिताः ।
dvādaśyāṁ ca caturdaśyāṁ śraddadhānā jitendriyāḥ || phalāni tasya paśyanti labhante na suniścitāḥ |
द्वादशी और चतुर्दशी को जो लोग व्रत रखते हैं, वो अपने मन को कंट्रोल में रखते हैं। वो इसका फल देख पाते हैं। उन्हें वो फल ज़रूर मिलता है, कोई शक नहीं।
