If one is exclusively devoted, peaceful, takes daily bath, is fixed invow and worships the Lord during these four months, he goes to the abode ofthe Lord. He who accepts the austerity of sleeping on the ground this time whenthe Visnu Deity is sleeping in yoga nidra underwater, he goes to the abode ofLaksmi ."
