Devanagari script
गवां मेधस्य यज्ञस्य फल प्राप्नोत्यनुत्तमम् । जो बारह महीनेतक सदा अन्निहोत्र करता
Translation
Nakakamit niya ang pinakadakilang bunga ng handog na Gomedha. Ang sinumang sa loob ng labindalawang buwan ay palaging nagsasagawa ng Agnihotra, naliligo sa tatlong sandhyā, tumutupad sa brahmacarya, hindi tumitingin sa pagkukulang ng iba, namumuhay na gaya ng isang muni, at kumakain lamang nang minsan tuwing ikaanim na araw—siya ang tumatanggap ng pinakamataas na gantimpala ng Gomedha-yajña.
