Yamraj felt highly pleased with all the arrangements and on returning, he asked her to wish for a boon. Then, she asked her brother to visit her every year. She added that whosoever sister would visit her brother, apply Tilak and serve Bhojan (food), carry out all other things with due rituals should remain away from his fear i.e. the fear of Yamraj.
