There is a saying ‘Sashtiyil irundhal agappaiyil varum’ (If you observe the penance during Sashti, riches
will reach you automatically). Another interpretation is that the mothers without children observing this
fast will get the defects in their body cured and conceive in their womb (agappai).

By observing the Sashti Viradham every month, the health of the long-suffering patients will improve
and their complaints will get gradually removed.

The devotees observing Sashti Viratam will be blessed with prosperity and success in all their
endeavours.
