agastya uvāca /
śāntivrataṃ pravakṣyāmi tava rājan śrṛṇuṣva tat /
yena cīrṇena śāntiḥ syāt sarvadā gṛhamedhinām

pañcamyāṃ śuklapakṣasya kārttike māsi suvrata /
ārabhed varṣamekaṃ tu bhuñjīyādamlavarjitam

naktaṃ devaṃ tu saṃpūjya hariṃ śeṣopari sthitam /
anantāyeti pādau tu vāsukāyeti vai kaṭim

takṣakāyeti jaṭharamuraḥ karkoṭakāya ca /
padmāya kaṇṭhaṃ saṃpūjya mahāpadmāya doryugam

śaṅkhapālāya vaktraṃ tu kuṭilāyeti vai śiraḥ /
evaṃ viṣṇugataṃ pūjya pṛthaktvena ca pūjayet

kṣīreṇa snapanaṃ kuryāt tānuddiśya hareḥ punaḥ /
tadagre homayet kṣīraṃ tilaiḥ saha vicakṣaṇaḥ

evaṃ saṃvatsarasyānte kuryād brāhmaṇabhojanam /
nāgaṃ tu kāñcanaṃ kuryād brāhmaṇāya nivedayet

evaṃ yaḥ kurute bhaktyā vratametannarādhipaḥ /
tasya śāntirbhavennityaṃ nāgānāṃ na bhayaṃ tathā
