Varaha Purana 65.11: Adhyaya 65, Shloka 11
The Sovereignty Vow and the Cycle of Tithi-Based Observances
दश पञ्च च वर्षाणि य एवṃ कुरुते नृप । तिथिव्रतानि कस्तस्य फलं व्रतप्रमाणतः ॥ ६५.११ ॥
daśa pañca ca varṣāṇi ya evaṃ kurute nṛpa | tithivratāni kastasya phalaṃ vratapramāṇataḥ || 65.11 ||
राजा, जो कोई पंद्रह साल तक यह व्रत निभाता है। उसके लिए कोई भी बता नहीं सकता कि उसे कितना फल मिलेगा। यह व्रत इतना पावरफुल है कि उसका पूरा रिजल्ट किसी को नहीं पता।
