सदा द्वादशमासान् वै सप्तलोकान् स पश्यति । जो लगातार बारह महीनोंतक उन्नीसवें दिन एक बार भोजन करता है, वह भी भू आदि सातों लोकोंका दर्शन करता है

ビーシュマは言った。「まる十二か月のあいだ、彼は七つの世界を見渡す。」文脈では、これは節食の誓戒による霊的果報として説かれる。すなわち十二か月続けて十九日目に一度だけ食する者は、ブーフ・ローカ（Bhū-loka）をはじめとする七界をも観得するのである。

Educational Q&A
Sustained self-restraint (tapas) practiced as a vow is portrayed as generating extraordinary spiritual merit, culminating in expanded perception—symbolized here by ‘seeing the seven worlds,’ i.e., insight into the full cosmic hierarchy.
Bhishma is instructing on vows and their fruits. In this line he states the result of a particular long-term discipline: over the course of a year, the practitioner is said to gain vision of the seven realms.
