ภีษมะกล่าวว่า บุรุษผู้ซึ่งในวันที่ยี่สิบหกกินเพียงครั้งเดียว และตลอดสิบสองเดือนติดต่อกันสำรวมจิตและอินทรีย์ ดำรงตนด้วยอาหารพอประมาณ; ผู้ปราศจากความยึดติด มีอินทรีย์ชนะแล้ว และถวายอาหุติลงในไฟศักดิ์สิทธิ์ทุกวัน—บุรุษผู้มีบุญวาสนานั้นได้รับการสักการะจากเหล่าอัปสรา และไปถึงโลกสวรรค์ของหมู่มรุตทั้งเจ็ดและวสุทั้งแปด

Educational Q&A

Sustained discipline—moderate eating, restraint of mind and senses, dispassion, and daily fire-offerings—produces spiritual merit that culminates in exalted heavenly attainments.

Bhīṣma continues his instruction on vows and austerities, describing a specific long-term regimen (twelve months of restraint with a single meal on the twenty-sixth day) and the celestial reward: being honored by Apsarases and reaching the realms associated with the Maruts and the Vasus.
