मानसतीर्थ-शौचप्रशंसा | Praise of the ‘Mental Tīrtha’ and the Marks of Purity
सदा द्वादशमासान् वै ब्रह्मलोकमवाप्नुयात् । जो बारह महीनोंतक प्रत्येक मास व्यतीत होनेपर तीसवें दिन एक बार भोजन करता और सदा शान्तभावसे रहता है, वह ब्रह्मलोकको प्राप्त होता है
sadā dvādaśa-māsān vai brahma-lokam avāpnuyāt |
ଯେ ବ୍ୟକ୍ତି ବାର ମାସ ଧରି ପ୍ରତ୍ୟେକ ମାସର ତିରିଶତମ ଦିନେ ଏକଥର ମାତ୍ର ଭୋଜନ କରେ ଏବଂ ସଦା ଶାନ୍ତଭାବରେ ରହେ, ସେ ବ୍ରହ୍ମଲୋକକୁ ପ୍ରାପ୍ତ କରେ।

Educational Q&A
Sustained austerity (regulated eating) combined with steady inner calm is presented as a powerful dharmic discipline whose fruit is attainment of a higher spiritual realm (Brahmaloka).
In Bhishma’s instruction on dharma and religious observances, he describes the merit of a year-long vow: eating only once every month on the thirtieth day while remaining peaceful in mind, culminating in the reward of Brahmaloka.
