saṃdhyādīpaprado yastu samāṃ tailaṃ vivarjayet
samānte dīpikāṃ dadyāc cakraśūle ca kāñcane //

One who voluntarily provides light (to the needy) every evening for a year and abstains from oil and then gives a lamp, a quoit and a trident of gold, along with a pair of cloths to a Brâhmaṇa, is born as a man of greatness and power in this world and ultimately goes to the domain of Śiva. This is (23) Dîpti-Vrata.—40-41.
