Nârada said-One who gives away a cow and sesamum to a Brâhmaṇa well versed in the Vedas gets the benefit of having given away lands beyond the seas He enjoys himself in a Vimâna shining like crores of suns for a considerable period The lady who gives away after observing a fast the following trees-Woodapple, roseapple, Kadamba, Champaka, Aśoka, Aśwattha, plantain banyan, pomegranate, Neem and Mahuâ, her breasts take the form of the woodapple, her thighs become like the trunk of the plantain tree She becomes adorable like the sacred Aśwattha tree and sweet smelling like the Neem, illustrious like the Champaka griefless like Aśoka, sweet like the Mahuâ, soft like the leaves of the banyan She always gets prosperity The giving of pumpkins and creepers is not considered high, and the husband of a lady who worships the Devas with Kadamba blossoms discarding the food cooked and uncooked as well as fruits, observing the vow of silence in the evening and worshipping Kṣetrapāla first, remains in happiness The ladies who keep a fast on Aṣṭamī, Chaturthī, Panchamī, Dwādaśī, Saṅkrāntı, undoubtedly go to heaven. They are liberated from the ills of the iron age and Dharmarāja does not admit such ladies in his town—26-37.
