1.118.1
The glorious Garuḍa Mahāpurāṇa — 118 / Brahmā said: / I shall declare the Akhaṇḍadvādaśī observance, which brings final beatitude. / In the bright fortnight of Mārgaśīrṣa, fasting and consuming products of the cow,
1.118.2
One should worship Viṣṇu on the twelfth day; for four months one should give / to a brāhmaṇa a vessel filled with five grains, uttering this:
1.118.3
‘O Viṣṇu, whatever religious observance has been performed by me across seven births, / by your grace, O Lord, let that become unbroken for me in this world.
1.118.4
Just as the entire universe is unbroken, and you alone are the Supreme Person, / even so let all my religious observances indeed remain unbroken.’
1.118.5
[One should give] vessels of barley meal beginning in Caitra, and filled with ghee beginning in Śrāvaṇa; / completing the religious observance, the performer of the religious observance attains a wife, sons, and heaven.
1.118.5.p1
