अन्नदानफलं (Anna-dāna-phala) / The Fruit of Food-Giving
अहोरात्रेण द्वादश्यां माघमासे तु माधवम् । राजसूयमवाप्नोति कुलं चैव समुद्धरेत्
ahorātreṇa dvādaśyāṁ māghamāse tu mādhavam | rājasūyam avāpnoti kulaṁ caiva samuddharet ||
毗湿摩说道：在摩伽月（Māgha）的第十二日（Dvādaśī），若能昼夜斋戒守夜，敬拜摩达婆（Mādhava），便得与王祭（Rājasūya）同等之功德，并能使自身宗族得以提升与救度。

Educational Q&A
A disciplined observance—fasting for a full day and night on Māgha Dvādaśī and worshipping Mādhava—can confer extraordinary merit, comparable to the grand Rājasūya sacrifice, and its spiritual benefit is portrayed as extending to the devotee’s entire lineage.
In Bhīṣma’s instruction on dharma and religious duties, he recommends a specific sacred observance (Māgha Dvādaśī fast with worship of Mādhava) and states its fruits: attainment of Rājasūya-like merit and the uplift of one’s family line.
