मानसतीर्थ-शौचप्रशंसा | Praise of the ‘Mental Tīrtha’ and the Marks of Purity
त्रयोदशे तु दिवसे प्राप्ते यः प्राशते हवि: । सदा द्वादशमासान् वै देवसत्रफलं लभेत्
trayodaśe tu divase prāpte yaḥ prāśate haviḥ | sadā dvādaśamāsān vai devasatraphalaṃ labhet ||
ビーシュマは説く。「定められた時が到来した第十三日に、誰かがハヴィ（供犠の供物）を口にするなら、その者は十二か月のあいだ常に、デーヴァ・サトラ—神々のために行われる長期の祭儀—に等しい功徳を得る。」

Educational Q&A
That careful adherence to the prescribed ritual day and proper participation in the oblation yields sustained merit—here described as the year-long fruit equal to a Deva-satra—highlighting dharma as disciplined, rule-governed practice.
Bhīṣma is instructing on ritual and religious duties, stating the specific reward for one who partakes of the sacrificial oblation when the thirteenth day arrives, promising the continuing merit of a major extended sacrifice for twelve months.
