अन्नदानफलं (Anna-dāna-phala) / The Fruit of Food-Giving
द्वादश्यां कार्तिके मासि पूज्य दामोदरेति च | गवां यज्ञमवाप्रोति पुमान् स्त्री वा न संशय:
dvādaśyāṁ kārtike māsi pūjya dāmodareti ca | gavāṁ yajñam avāpnoti pumān strī vā na saṁśayaḥ ||
毗湿摩说道：在迦尔提迦月（Kārttika）的十二日（Dvādaśī），若昼夜持斋而礼敬达摩达罗（Dāmodara），无论男女，必得等同于“牛祭”（go-yajña）之功德；对此毫无疑惑。

Educational Q&A
Worship of Lord Dāmodara on Kārttika Dvādaśī, accompanied by fasting/observance, grants very high merit—comparable to a go-yajña—and this spiritual benefit is open equally to men and women.
In Bhīṣma’s instruction on dharma, he recommends a specific sacred observance: on the Dvādaśī tithi in the month of Kārttika, one should worship Dāmodara; he assures Yudhiṣṭhira that the resulting merit is certain and great.
