tvayā kṛtamidaṃ vīra tvannāmākhyaṃ bhaviṣyati
sā bhīmadvādaśī hyeṣā sarvapāpaharā śubhā
yā tu kalyāṇinī nāma purā kalpeṣu paṭhyate //

“O Bhîmasena! You should also keep up this ordinance (vrata), without pride and with purity of heart. I have dictated all this out of affection for thee. Bhîma! This ordinance observed by you will be known after your name.” The ordinance (vrata) of Bhîmasenâ dwâdaśî is the dispeller of all ills, and was known as Kalyâṇinî in the past Kalpas. O Valiant one! You will be the first to observe this ordinance (vrata) during this Varâha Kalpa, having remembered all about it, you will be liberated from all sins and attain the rank of the Lord of Devas (Tridaśas). The public women of other Kalpas having observed this vrata, have become celestial nymphs (Apsarâs). One dairy maid, of a previous Kalpa (Âvira Kanyâ), having observed this vrata out of curiosity alone, has now become Urvasî in the heaven of Indra. The daughter of a Vaiśya became the daughter of Pulama and the queen of Indra, by virtue of this ordinance; and, similarly, Satyabhâmâ, the maid of that girl, has become My beloved."—56-60.
