Fast, Vigil, and Worship of Hari/Kṛṣṇa
कर्ता गवां सहस्रं तु यो ददाति दिनेदिने । तत्फलं समवाप्नोति जयंत्यां समुपोषणे
kartā gavāṃ sahasraṃ tu yo dadāti dinedine | tatphalaṃ samavāpnoti jayaṃtyāṃ samupoṣaṇe
جو شخص روز بروز ہزار گائیں دان کرتا رہے، جینتی کے دن روزہ (اُپواس) رکھنے والا بھی وہی ثواب حاصل کر لیتا ہے۔

Sandhi Resolution Notes: दिनेदिने = दिने + दिने (पुनरुक्त-सप्तमी); तत्फलं = तत् + फलम्; समवाप्नोति = सम्-उपसर्ग + अव-उपसर्ग + आप्; जयंत्यां = जयन्त्याम्; समुपोषणे = सम् + उपोषणे (सम्-उपसर्गयुक्त)
Fasting (upavāsa) on the observance/day called Jayantī is praised as yielding extraordinary religious merit.
It states that fasting on Jayantī grants the same fruit as giving a thousand cows every day—an intentionally hyperbolic comparison to show the vrata’s potency.
Sincere self-discipline and devotion through vrata can be spiritually equivalent to immense material charity, emphasizing inner commitment over sheer wealth.
