このヴラタを未婚の娘が行えば、吉相具足の優れた夫を得る。夫や子のない女（アヴィーラー）は罪垢が滅して高き境地に至り、子を失った女は長寿の子と財の恵みを得る。不運は幸運へ、醜さは最上の美へと転じ、病人は病を離れて働ける健全な身を得る。祖霊（ピトリ）や神々のために、特にシュラーダの供養で、供物を捧げつつこの物語を誦すれば、彼らは大いに満足してあらゆる願いを授ける。ホーマの終わりには、火神アグニ、シュリー・ハリ（ヴィシュヌ）とシュリー・ラクシュミーが喜ばれる。パリークシット王よ、ディティがこの大いなる誓願を行い、マルットという福徳の子らを得て幸福に生きた次第を、私は詳しく説き尽くした。
Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Sixth Canto, Nineteenth Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “Performing the Puṁsavana Ritualistic Ceremony.”
FAQs
This verse states that the vow brings auspicious results in household life—good marriage, prosperity, beauty, and the removal of sinful reactions—culminating in purification and upliftment.
Because the narrative shows how regulated, Viṣṇu-centered vows purify desire and karma; even worldly outcomes are presented as secondary fruits that encourage people toward devotion and dharma.
Perform spiritual disciplines with sincerity and ethical conduct, offering results to the Lord—using vows, prayer, and self-control to purify intentions rather than merely chasing outcomes.
