未婚少女若修此誓仪，必得具足吉相之良夫；无夫无子之妇（avīrā）罪垢消除，得升善趣乃至灵性归宿；丧子之母可得寿长之子并获财富。厄运者转为有福，貌丑者得殊胜容颜；病者离疾，得健全可用之身。若在祭奉祖灵与诸天、尤其施行施罗达（śrāddha）时诵读此事并献供，祖灵与天众极为欢喜，赐予一切所愿。火供终了，火神、圣主毗湿奴（Śrī Hari）与吉祥天女拉克什米皆大悦。帕利克希特王啊，我已详述底蒂所行之大誓仪，由此诞生圣洁的马鲁特并得安乐人生。
Thus end the Bhaktivedanta purports of the Sixth Canto, Nineteenth Chapter, of the Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam, entitled “Performing the Puṁsavana Ritualistic Ceremony.”
FAQs
This verse states that the vow brings auspicious results in household life—good marriage, prosperity, beauty, and the removal of sinful reactions—culminating in purification and upliftment.
Because the narrative shows how regulated, Viṣṇu-centered vows purify desire and karma; even worldly outcomes are presented as secondary fruits that encourage people toward devotion and dharma.
Perform spiritual disciplines with sincerity and ethical conduct, offering results to the Lord—using vows, prayer, and self-control to purify intentions rather than merely chasing outcomes.
