After making the sacred offering, the devotee remains awake through the night, keeping vigil and again worshipping Lord Vāmana with a heart full of devotion. With reverence, he gives to a Brahmin who is himself devoted to the worship of Vāmana, acknowledging that Vāmana is the deliverer of all, and offering repeated salutations to Him. By performing these acts, the devotee attains the merit equal to a hundred Agniṣṭoma sacrifices. He then bathes Śrīdhara with milk mixed with honey, and, O sage, offers one hundred and eight oblations with clarified butter combined with grains. He also gives to a Brahmin an excellent measure of milk. For the fulfillment of all desires, and with the proper mantra, he prays: “By the gift of milk, be well pleased, O giver of all happiness.” Through this offering, he gains the fruit of a thousand horse sacrifices. The votary next bathes Hṛṣīkeśa, the teacher of the world, with a measure of milk, and offers one hundred and eight oblations with a sweetened rice dish. As a gift, he presents one and a half āḍhakas of wheat and gold, according to his means, praying, “By the offering of wheat, grant me all happiness.” Thus, freed from all sins, he attains the fruit of the Brahmamedha sacrifice. With devotion and purity, he bathes Padmanābha with milk and worships with sesame, rice, barley, and clarified butter, all according to the proper method. He gives a kuḍava of honey to a Brahmin, always accompanied by a suitable gift. By the gift of honey, the Lord is greatly pleased and bestows all happiness, granting a result equal to a thousand Brahmamedha sacrifices. Taking a measure of an āḍhaka of milk, or clarified butter in the same quantity, he offers one hundred and eight oblations of sesame mixed with honey and clarified butter. In the morning, he worships the deity with delightful lotus flowers and, with devotion, gives food accompanied by five kinds of edibles to a Brahmin, praying, “Protect me with compassion, O Lord, guardian of those who seek refuge.” He also feeds Brahmins and gives gifts according to his ability, thereby attaining twice the merit of a thousand aśvamedha sacrifices. O best of sages, within a year, he attains the supreme abode, obtaining each respective fruit and reaching the realm of Hari. On the twelfth day of the dark fortnight in the month of Mārgaśīrṣa, the devotee adorns himself in white garments and garlands, and applies white unguents. Accompanied by the sounds of bells and the waving of fly-whisks, resplendent with the tinkling of ornaments, he covers the altar with a white cloth and arranges rows of lamps. Above it, he places twelve pots filled with water, each covered and furnished with five kinds of gems. These pots may be of gold, silver, or copper, or their value can be offered in gold according to one’s means. If he acts otherwise, his lifespan and wealth will diminish. With devotion, he bathes the sacred image first with the five nectars. At night, he keeps vigil, listening to the recitation of the Purāṇas and other sacred texts, thus fulfilling his worship with utmost dedication and reverence.
