मानसतीर्थ-शौचप्रशंसा | Praise of the ‘Mental Tīrtha’ and the Marks of Purity
सेव्यमानो वरस्त्रीभि: क्रीडत्यमरवत् प्रभु: । जो लगातार बारह महीनोंतक प्रतिदिन अग्निहोत्र करता हुआ इक्कीसवें दिनपर एक बार भोजन करता है
sevyamāno varastrībhiḥ krīḍaty amaravat prabhuḥ |
毗湿摩阐明严谨吠陀行持之天福：若有人一年之中日日行阿耆尼霍多罗（Agnihotra）火供，而于第二十一日方食一次，便得至与舒克罗阿阇梨耶及因陀罗相关之光明世界，并亦抵达阿湿毗尼双子与马鲁特众之境。于彼处，他连“忧苦”之名亦不识，常住不绝之享乐——端坐于华丽飞车之上，为美丽女子侍奉，嬉游如强大神祇，列于不死者之间。

Bhīṣma is describing the फल (result) of a specific observance: daily Agnihotra for twelve months and a regulated single meal on the twenty-first day, culminating in the enjoyments and status of a godlike being in various divine worlds.
