प्रबोधनाख्यां सुधियस्ते यान्ति परमं पदम्॥ न यमं यातनादण्डान्नरकं न च किङ्करान्॥
prabodhanākhyāṃ sudhiyas te yānti paramaṃ padam || na yamaṃ yātanā-daṇḍān narakaṃ na ca kiṅkarān ||
जो लोग इस प्रबोधना द्वादशी को ठीक से निभाते हैं, वो सीधा ऊपर वाले के पास पहुँच जाते हैं। उन्हें यमराज के सामने नहीं जाना पड़ता। ना कोई सज़ा मिलती है, ना नरक में जाना पड़ता है, ना उसके सेवक मिलते हैं।
