It is then revealed by Brahma that the merits of the Vrata may also be attained through certain other means like providing monetary help to a Brahmana or by getting his disciple, servants, women or any worthy person to perform the Vrata on his behalf.<ref>The Skanda Purana ([https://holybooks-lichtenbergpress.netdna-ssl.com/wp-content/uploads/The-Skanda-Purana-Part-6.pdf Part 4]), Delhi: Motilal Banarsidass Publishers.</ref>
