Seasonal Devotional Procedure
यश्चैतेन विधानॆन कुर्यान्मासे तु फाल्गुने ॥ न स गच्छति संसारं मम लोकाय गच्छति ॥
yaścaitena vidhānena kuryānmāse tu phālgune || na sa gacchati saṃsāraṃ mama lokāya gacchati ||
ഫാൽഗുണ മാസത്തിൽ ഈ വിധാനപ്രകാരം ആരെങ്കിലും ഈ വ്രതം ആചരിച്ചാൽ, അവൻ സംസാരത്തിലേക്ക് പോകുകയില്ല; എന്റെ ലോകത്തിലേക്കാണ് പോകുന്നത്.
