सहस्रं प्रजपेद्वात्रौ सोऽभीष्टं क्षिप्रमाप्नुयात् । समाप्य शोभनदिने संभोज्य द्विजसत्तमान् ॥ १०७ ॥
sahasraṃ prajapedvātrau so'bhīṣṭaṃ kṣipramāpnuyāt | samāpya śobhanadine saṃbhojya dvijasattamān || 107 ||
وہ رات میں اس کا ایک ہزار بار جپ کرے؛ تو وہ جلد ہی مطلوبہ پھل پا لے گا۔ انوشتھان پورا کر کے کسی مبارک دن بہترین دِوِجوں (عالم برہمنوں) کو کھانا کھلائے۔

It links inner practice (night-time japa done in a fixed count) with outer completion (feeding worthy brāhmaṇas), presenting a complete dhārmic method for attaining one’s intended fruit.
By emphasizing repeated japa (remembrance through recitation) and a concluding act of respect and generosity, it supports devotion as disciplined remembrance joined with service to the virtuous.
Ritual procedure and timing: specifying rātri-japa (night recitation), a fixed numerical count (sahasra), and proper closure of an observance on an auspicious day with brāhmaṇa-bhojana (feeding learned brāhmaṇas).
