v6.c81.1235

*Kīrtivrata*—Saṃvatsaravrata; the performer salutes Aśvattha tree, the Sun and the Ganges, stays in one place restraining his senses, eats only once in the noon, he does so for one year; at end of vrata honours a brāhmaṇa and his wife with gifts of three cows and a golden tree. It yields fame and land to performer. KKV 442, HV II. 863-864 (from Pad.). The verses are also Mat 101.23-24. It is the 13th Sastivrata.
