Śiva said.—Hearing all this from the sage Pippalâda, the King Yudhiṣṭhira, of the wonderful deeds and prowess, said:—“Let it be so.” He then performed this Vrata. One who hears about it, after pondering over the words of Pippalâda with attention, also gets the same benefit by the grace of the lord Mars.—45.
