అక్కడ నియమవ్రతుడు అయిన బ్రాహ్మణుడు సంధ్యోపాసన చేయాలి. అలా చేయడం వలన అతడు పన్నెండు సంవత్సరాల సంధ్యావందనం చేసిన ఫలంగా భావించబడుతుంది.

Educational Q&A

Steady daily religious discipline—especially Sandhyā worship performed with firm vows—is praised as highly meritorious, even being treated as equivalent to a long span (twelve years) of continuous observance.

The speaker instructs that in a particular sacred context/place, a disciplined Brahmin should perform Sandhyā worship; the text then states the extraordinary spiritual credit gained by that act.
