And the pure man who eats on the eighth day, / having reached the realm of Viṣṇu, becomes possessed of supreme splendor. (24) / The man who eats on the ninth day, established in his vow, / becoming dear to the Vasus, roams with the Vasus. (25) / But having eaten on the tenth day, he obtains the fruit of a ten-day sacrifice; / becoming equal to the Aśvins, he constantly shines like the sun. (26) / And obtaining human birth again, he obtains ten wives, / imperishable gold, and he does not die untimely. (27)
