Sūta said:: The devotee shall make a splendid image of Umā-Maheśa in gold or in silver and install it duly. At the end of the year, he shall feed the brahmins and give them gifts according to capacity. He shall take the lord of Devas to the temple of Rudra on chariots, etc., fitted with all excellent things and decorated with umbrellas and chowries. He shall dedicate the Vrata unto Śiva, Parameṣṭhin. He attains identity with Śiva. If the devotee is a woman she will attain Sāyujya (identity) with the goddess. If the devotee is a virgin or a widow she shall abstain from taking food on the eighth and fourteenth day. She shall observe celibacy and continue the holy rite for a year. At the end of the year she shall make an idol in accordance with the injunction laid down before and instal it duly. She shall then feed the brahmins after taking the idol to the temple of Rudra. Thanks to this holy rite she rejoices with Bhavānī.
