Verse 15

¹⁵Having praised in this way the giver of boons, in whom Sri lives, together with Sri, she should take away the offering, give water for the mouth, and worship him. ¹⁶Then she should praise him with the hymn, her mind bent low in devotion, and having breathed in the leavings of the offering should worship Hari again. ¹⁷And with the highest devotion, holding him in mind as the great Person, she should come to her husband with this thing and that which he likes; and the husband himself, being loving, should carry all his wife's work, the great and the small. ¹⁸It counts as done if either one of the two, husband or wife, has done it. When the wife is not able, the husband should do this with a gathered mind.

¹⁹Carrying this vow of Visnu, one should not break it in any way. Holding to the rule, one should worship day after day, with devotion, the brahmins, the women whose husbands and sons are living, and the god, with garlands, scents, offerings and ornaments. ²⁰Having settled the god back in his own place, she should eat what was offered before him, for the cleansing of herself and for the full growth of everything she wants. ²¹Having passed twelve months, a full year, by this order of worship, the good woman should stop on the last day of Kartika. ²²The next day, having touched water and worshipped Krsna as before, the husband should pour twelve offerings of rice boiled in milk along with ghee, by the rule of the cooked oblation.
