haṃsasārasayuktena kiṅkiṇījālamālinā
vimānenāpsarobhiśca siddhavidyādharair vṛtaḥ
viharetpitṛbhiḥ sārdhaṃ yāvadābhūtasaṃplavam //

The spurs of the hillock (viṣkambha corner mounts) should be given away to the Ritvika priests, as before, after which the devotee should say with a peaceful mind: ‘The clarified butter has been produced by the confluence of the fire and nectar, therefore, O Śaṅkara, the Lord of the universe, be pleased. Brilliancy is Brahmâ which is present in the clarified butter, therefore, let there always be my protection, by virtue of this charity of the clarified butter hill.’ One who gives away the first best hill of clarified butter, decidedly goes to the kingdom of Śiva, in spite of his being a great sinner, and resides in heaven till the dissolution of the world where he roams about in an aerial chariot decorated with cranes, birds, small bells, perforated work and portholes in the company of Apsarâs, Siddhas, Vidyâdharas and the pitṛis—7-10.
