agastya uvāca /
sārvabhaumavrataṃ cānyat kathayāmi samāsataḥ /
yena samyakkṛtenāśu sārvabhaumo nṛpo bhavet

kārtikasya tu māsasya daśamī śuklapakṣikā /
tasyāṃ naktāśano nityaṃ dikṣu śuddhabaliṃ haret

vicitraiḥ kusumairbhaktyā pūjayitvā dvijottamān /
diśāṃ tu prārthanāṃ kuryān mantreṇānena suvrataḥ /
sarvā bhavantyaḥ siddhyantu mama janmani janmani

evamuktvā baliṃ tāsu dattvā śuddhena cetasā /
tato rātrau tu bhuñjīta dadhyannaṃ tu susaṃskṛtam

pūrvaṃ paścād yatheṣṭaṃ tu evaṃ saṃvatsaraṃ nṛpa /
yaḥ karoti naro nityaṃ tasya digvijayo bhavet

ekādaśyāṃ tu yatnena naraḥ kuryād yathāvidhi /
mārgaśīrṣe śuklapakṣādārabhyābdaṃ vicakṣaṇaḥ /
tad vrata dhanadasyeṣṭaṃ kṛtaṃ vittaṃ prayacchati

ekādaśyāṃ nirāhāro yo bhuṅkte dvādaśīdine /
śukle vā'pyathavā kṛṣṇe tad vrataṃ vaiṣṇavaṃ mahat

evaṃ cīrṇa sughorāṇi hanti pāpāni rapārthiva /
trayodaśyāṃ tu naktena dharmavratamathocyate

śuklapakṣe phālgunasya tathārabhya vicakṣaṇaḥ /
raudraṃ vrataṃ caturdaśyāṃ kṛṣṇapakṣe viśeṣataḥ /
māghamāsādathārabhya pūrṇaṃ saṃvatsaraṃ nṛpa

induvrataṃ pañcadaśyāṃ śuklāyāṃ naktabhojanam /
pitṛvratamamāvāsyāmiti rājana tatheritam

daśa pañca ca varṣāṇi ya evaṃ kurute nṛpa /
tithivratāni kastasya phalaṃ vratapramāṇataḥ

aśvamedhasahastrāṇi rājasūyaśatāni ca /
yaṣṭāni tena rājendra kalpoktāḥ kratavastathā

ekameva kṛtaṃ hanti vrataṃ pāpāni nityaśaḥ /
yaḥ punaḥ sarvametaddhi kuryānnaravarātmaja /
sa śuddho virajo lokānāpnoti sakalaṃ nṛpa
