मानसतीर्थ-शौचप्रशंसा | Praise of the ‘Mental Tīrtha’ and the Marks of Purity
सदा द्वादशमासांस्तु जुह्मानो जातवेदसम् | फल प्राप्रोति विपुलं देवलोके च पूज्यते
sadā dvādaśa-māsāṁs tu juhmāno jātavedasam | phalaṁ prāpnoti vipulaṁ devaloke ca pūjyate ||
毗湿摩说道：若有人满十二个月恒常向生火者阇多吠陀（阿耆尼，Agni）献供于圣火之中，并以严厉克制每逢第二十七日方食一次，便得广大功德，在天界受礼敬。此教诲称扬吠陀火祭与苦行相应，以自制为升进与获天众敬重之道。

Educational Q&A
Sustained Vedic worship (offering into Agni) combined with rigorous self-discipline and fasting is presented as a powerful dharmic practice that yields great spiritual merit and leads to honor in devaloka.
In Bhishma’s instruction on dharma and religious observances, he describes the reward for a practitioner who maintains agnihotra-like offerings for a year while eating only once every twenty-seventh day, emphasizing the exalted result of such austerity.
