varjayedyastu puṣpāṇi hemantaśiśirāvṛtū
puṣpatrayaṃ ca phālgunyāṃ kṛtvā śaktyā ca kāñcanam //

One who abstains from flowers during winter (_i.e._, the seasons of Hemanta and Śiśira) and in the month of Phâlguna, and gets three flowers of gold made according to his means and gives them away in charity at dusk, after invoking the pleasure of Śiva and Viṣṇu, with the words “Priyatâm Śiva-Keśavam,” attains final beatitude. This is known as (8) _Saumya-Vrata._—13-14.
