मानसतीर्थ-शौचप्रशंसा | Praise of the ‘Mental Tīrtha’ and the Marks of Purity
जो बारह महीनोंतक सदा तेरहवें दिन हविष्यात्र भोजन करता है, उसे देवसत्रका फल प्राप्त होता है ।।
bhīṣma uvāca | yo dvādaśa māsān yāvat sadā trayodaśe dine haviṣyāśanaṁ karoti, sa devasatrasya phalaṁ prāpnoti || raktapadmodayaṁ nāma vimānaṁ sādhayen naraḥ | jātarūpaprayuktaṁ ca ratnasañcayabhūṣitam || tasmin devakanyābhiḥ paripūrṇe divyābharaṇabhūṣite mahāśobhā bhavati | tatra pavitrā sugandhiḥ sadā pravartate, tad divyaṁ vimānaṁ vāyavyāstreṇa śobhayamānam ||
毗湿摩说道：若有人历时十二个月，恒常于阴历第十三日食用简朴的供献之食（haviṣya），便能获得天神大祭 Devasatra 的功德。此人将得一乘名为“Raktapadmodaya（赤莲初升）”的天车（vimāna），以黄金装饰，缀以成堆宝珠。车中充满天女，佩戴天界宝饰而光辉灿然；清净妙香不断散发，而那神圣的空中车又因具足“Vāyavya（风神之力/风系神兵）”的威光而愈加辉耀。

Educational Q&A
Steady, time-bound self-restraint in diet and ritual conduct—performed with regularity over a full year—is presented as dharmic practice that yields great merit, comparable to major sacrificial rites, and culminates in exalted heavenly attainments.
Bhishma is describing the specific fruit of a vow: eating haviṣya on each thirteenth lunar day for twelve months. He then depicts the resulting reward as the attainment of a jewel-and-gold adorned celestial vimāna named Raktapadmodaya, populated by divine maidens and shining with divine splendor.
