Then he shall remember Gaṇeśa. Thus the Vrata shall be concluded auspiciously. When thus the Vrata is duly completed in a year, the devotee shall perform the rite of formal dismissal (udyāpanavidhi) for the completion of the Vrata. At my bidding twelve brahmins shall be fed. After placing a jar your image shall be worshipped. [...]”.
