If this vow or ritualistic ceremony is observed according to the description of śāstra, even in this life a man will be able to achieve all the benedictions he desires from the Lord. A wife who performs this ritualistic ceremony will surely receive good fortune, opulence, sons, a long-living husband, a good reputation and a good home.

Translation (Visvanatha Cakravarti Thakura)

If this vow is observed according to the rules, even in this life a man will be able to achieve all the benedictions he desires from the Lord. A wife who performs this vow will receive good fortune, wealth, sons, a long-living husband, a good reputation and a good home. The woman will obtain a husband who lives (jīva-patim).

Purport

In Bengal even today if a woman lives for a long time with her husband, she is considered very fortunate. A woman generally desires a good husband, good children, a good home, prosperity, opulence and so on. As recommended in this verse, a woman will receive all these desirable benedictions, and a man will also be able to receive all benedictions, from the Supreme Personality of Godhead. Thus by performing this particular type of vrata, a man and a woman in Kṛṣṇa consciousness will be happy in this material world, and because of being Kṛṣṇa conscious they will be promoted to the spiritual world.
