brahmāṇḍaṃ kāñcanaṃ kṛtvā tilarāśisamanvitam
tryahaṃ tilaprado bhūtvā vahniṃ saṃtarpya sadvijam //

One who makes a golden globe of the universe weighing more than 12 tolas, (3 palas), according to his means, places it on a mound of sesamum, and offers the latter to the Brâhmaṇas for three days, and libation to fire, honours the Brâhmaṇa couple with clothes, garlands, ornaments, etc., after reciting, ‘O Lord of the Universe, be pleased’ (Viśvâtmâ priyatâm), liberates himself from the cycle of birth and becomes unified with Brahmâ. This is (27) Brahma-Vrata, the giver of Nirvâṇa.—46-48.
