TRANSLATION
Sukadeva Gosvami said: On the first day of the bright fortnight of the month of Agrahayana [NovemberDecember], following the instructions of her husband, a woman should begin this regulative devotional service with a vow of penance, for it can fulfill all ones desires. Before beginning the worship of Lord Visnu, the woman should hear the story of how the Maruts were born. Under the instructions of qualified brahmanas, in the morning she should wash her teeth, bathe, and dress herself with white cloth and ornaments, and before taking breakfast she should worship Lord Visnu and Laksmi.
