By making, under the constellation Purvashadha, a gift, to a Brahmana knowing the Vedas and of good family and conduct, of cups filled with curds, while observing a fast, one is born in his next life in a family having abundant kine. One secures the fruition of every desire, by making gifts, under the constellation Uttarashadha, of jugs full of barleywater, with clarified butter and juice of sugarcane in abundance.
