93.117

putrārthī labhate putrān dhanārthī labhate dhanam
bhāryārthī śobhanāṃ bhāryāṃ kumārī ca śubhaṃ patim //

The man desirous of sons, obtains sons, one desirous of riches, gets riches, the devotee, eager for a wife, gets a beautiful wife, and if a maiden performs this sacrifice, she gets a good husband by virtue of it.—117. Further more, by the virtue of this sacrifice, a dethroned sovereign gets back his realm, the man hankering after prosperity gets prosperity, in fact, the devotee, desirous of anything, gets that thing. But the one, who performs it without any object in view, attains the Supreme Brahman.—118.
