This hymn leads to heaven. It removes disease and bestows long life. This is worthy of the highest praise, and is consistent with the Vedas. That person, O Partha, who recites this hymn with a pure heart observing the vow of celibacy, and with his senses under restraint, regularly for one whole year, succeeds in acquiring the fruits of a horse sacrifice, Danavas and Yakshas and Rakshasas and Pishachas and Yatudhanas and Guhyakas and snakes can do no harm to him.
