Method of fasting: On this day, women should clean their teeth in the morning with the stick of Aghada plant. After taking bath, I am observing this fast to please the Saptarishis including Arundhati, to remove the faults caused due to unintentional touch at the time of menstruation before worship. Make eight small pieces of rice on a wooden plate and place eight betel nuts on it, Kashyapadi, seven sages and Arundhati invoke them and perform Shodashopachar worship. On this day, take the diet of tuber root only. And eat nothing of the labor done by the bull. It has been told like this. On the second day, Kashyapadi seven rishis and Arundhati should be immersed in the form of eight portions of rice. Udyapan can be performed after twelve years or after the age of fifty years. This fast can be continued even after Udyapan.

The importance of this day is that the ancient sages who had organized the maintenance and upbringing of the society, therefore sacrificing their whole life, created immortal music like Vedas, did the reformative work. This is a day to remember them with gratitude by being indebted to them.
