One should accept this viṣṇu-vrata, which is a vow in devotional service, and should not deviate from its execution to engage in anything else. By offering the remnants of prasāda, flower garlands, sandalwood pulp and ornaments, one should daily worship the brāhmaṇas and worship women who peacefully live with their husbands and children. Every day the wife must continue following the regulative principles to worship Lord Viṣṇu with great devotion. Thereafter, Lord Viṣṇu should be laid in His bed, and then one should take prasāda. In this way, husband and wife will be purified and will have all their desires fulfilled.
Viśvanātha Cakravartī Ṭhākura Gauḍīya
Translation
One should execute the vow for Viṣṇu and should not deviate from it for any reason. With devotion, one should daily worship women with living husbands and brāhmaṇas by means of garlands, scents, food and ornaments used in the worship. Fixed in the rules of worship, placing the Lord to rest, one should divide the offerings to the Lord and then eat, for purifying the mind in order to fulfill one’s desires. Na vihanyāt means one should not break the vow. Agrataḥ means “dividing up the remnants properly.” The ablative can be used to express a missing participle.
