Sampraapti Dwaadashee Vrat
(Chap 77) Krishn Bhagavaan said - "There is Sampraapti Dwaadashee Vrat from 12 of Krishn Paksh of Paush Maas to 12th of Krishn Paksh of Jyeshth Maas (6 months). In each month one should worship Bhagavaan with the following names respectively - Pundareekaaksh, Maadhav, Vishwaroop, Purushottam, Achyut and Jaya. After that from 12th of Krishn Paksh of Aashaadh Maas one should take Vrat up to  Maargsheersh Maas. One should do the worship and Vrat with the same name as before. One should feed a Braahman every month and give Dakshinaa to him. One should not take oil and salted food on these days. After doing it up to one year, one's all desires are fulfilled and he goes to Bhagavaan's Lok.

Govind Dwaadashee Vrat
(Chap 78) Krishn Jee further said  - "In the same way, there is another Vrat, Govind Dwaadashee Vrat, which fulfills all desires. Worship Vishnu Bhagavaan with flowers, Naivedya, lamp etc after doing fast on 12th of Shukla Paksh of Paush Maas. On this day one should not talk to any Paakhandee, give Dakshinaa to Braahman. One should take cow's milk or yogurt on that day. Worship and feed cow on that day. Next day, worship Bhagavaan, feed a Braahman and take food himself too. Thus he should do it for 12 months. After the year is over, make a gold idol of Lakshmee and Naaraayan, worship it and give it to a Braahman along with a cow with calf. Who does this Vrat he gets the fruits of donating 100 golden horned cows along with a bull.

Akahand Dwaadashee Vrat
(Chap 79) Yudhishthir asked - "Bhagavan, If something is missing in some Vrat, fast, donation, or Dharm, then what is the fruit of that?" Krishn said - "In spite of getting kingdom, when people become poor; or in spite of being beautiful become one-eyed, blind, or lame,; or wife and husband become separated; or even after taking birth in a noble family become bad character; being rich they cannot donate or enjoy wealth and good clothes etc; that is all because of this Vaikalya (shortfall in Dahrm, donation, Vrat or fasts etc). If somehow this happens, then do Akhand Dwaadashee Vrat. That will remove all kinds of mistakes from them.

In Maargsheersh Maas, on 12th of its Shukla Paksh, worship Janaardan and keep fast. Donate a pot full of barley or rice to a Braahman and pray with this Mantra (the Mantra is given on p 465). This Vrat should be done for four months - Maargsherrsh, Paush, Maagh, and Phaalgun and then do its Paaran. Start it again for four months (Chaitra, Vaishaakh, Jyeshth, Aashaadh) and do another Paaran after four months and give Sattoo to Braahman, then do another four months (Shraavan, Bhaadrapad, Aashwin and Kaartik) and do another Paaran with the donation of Ghee  in a pot of gold, silver, clay, or Palaash leaf according to one's capacity.

Feed Kheer to 12 Braahman, donate clothes and ornaments, and ask for their forgiveness. By doing this all broken (faulty) Vrat etc become complete (faultless). Therefore people should do this Vrat definitely to save themselves from faults."

Manorath Dwaadashee Vrat
(Chap 80) Krishn Jee said - "Do fast on 11th of Shukla Paksh of Phaalgun and worship Bhagavaan. Next day, on Dwaadashee, do Havan with Ghee and give Dakshinaa to Braahman. Then pray to Bhagavaan for fulfilling one's all desires and eat Havishya food. This should be done for one year in three parts - (1) Phaalgun to Jyeshth - worship Naaraayan with red flowers and Havishyaann and take cow horn water and Havishyaann; (2) Aashaadh to Aashwin - worship with Chamelee flowers and Sathee rice, and take Kush water and Naivedy; and (3) Kaartik to Maagh - worship with Japaa flowers and Kasaar and take cow urine and Kasaar. Give Dakshinaa to Braahman every month. At the end of the Vrat, one should give Braahman a gold idol of one Maashaa (about one gram) of Naaraayan after worshipping it, along with two clothes and Dakshinaa. Feed 12 Braahman and give food, pitcher for water, umbrella, shoes, clothes, and Dakshinaa. By doing this Vrat all kinds of wishes are fulfilled, that is why it is called Manorath Dwaadashee."

Til Dwaadashee Vrat
(Chap 81) Yudhishthir said - "Bhagavan, Tell us the way by which all Paap should be washed away with little effort." Krishn Jee said - "There is one Vrat, called Til (sesame seed) DwaadasheeVrat, that is very auspicious and is he destroyer of all sins. On the 12th day of Krishn Paksh of Maagh Maas, when there is Mool or Poorv Aashaadh Nakshatra, keep fast on the previous day (on 11th day) and take Vrat. Next day, on 12th, worship Krishn and donate black sesame seeds. Vratee should also take black sesame seeds on that day. Thus one should do it for one year on each 12th of Krishn Paksh. In the end, feed 12 Braahman, and donate them black color pitchers full of black sesame seeds, good food, umbrella, shoes, clothes, and Dakshinaa. By doing this Vrat one lives in Swarg for the years whatever number of sesame seed are produced by sowing the donated seeds. He never becomes blind and suffers from leprosy, always stays healthy. This is not very expensive Vrat."

Sukrit Dwaadashee Vrat
Chap 82) Yudhishthir asked - "Which is that Karm by doing which all pains and afflictions are removed?" Krishn Jee said - "I tell you one story in this reference. In olden times, there lived a Vaishya named Seerbhadra in Vidishaa (Bhelasaa) city. He always used to be busy in earning money for his family, that is why he didn't have time to think about his Par-Lok. He used to earn wealth by any means and never did any Dharm Karm. After some time he died and lived in Vindhya Van as a Pret. One day Vipeet named Braahman saw him in summer time, he was turning around in sand near rive because of heat. He had blisters all over his body and his throat was dry with thirst. Braahman got pity on him and so he asked him about him. Pret said - "Hey Braahman, I am burning because I did not do any Dharm Karm in  my previous life. I neither worshipped Braahman, nor Devtaa. I myself collected all the sins so I alone am suffering for them. If you any way, please tell me."

Vipeet Muni said - "Seerbhadra, You did a Vrat of Sukrit Dwaadashee ten lives before. Because of that a large part of your sins has already destroyed, now you will get good Gati in a very short period. This Vrat destroys sins and brings Punya." After saying this to him Muni went to his Aashram and Seerbhadra also got good Gati after some time. Because of this only his so many sins got destroyed in such a short period, that is why one should always make efforts for Punya and do fasts and Vrat etc.

On the 11th day of Shukla Paksh of Phaalgun Maas, one should keep fast, and do Jaap of "Aum Namo Naaraanaaya". On 12th day worship Bhagavaan Madhusoodan. In the Paaran of the first four months, give Yava (barley) filled in silver, copper or clay pots. In he second Paaran, from Aashaadh to Aashwin, give Ghee; and in the last one, from Kaartik to Maagh, one should give sesame seeds. Worship Bhagavaan and ask for His grace, then take food. When one year is completed make a gold idol of Vishnu, worship it give to Braahman along with clothes, gold and Dakshinaa and a cow with calf. Whoever does this Vrat he never goes to Narak. In the same way who always take Naaraayan's name they also never see Yam's face.
