Dāmodarāya viśvayā   Viśva- rūpa- dharāya ca Namaskrtvā Pradasyāmi    vyoma-dipam hari-Priyam “I offer my obeisance to lord damodara who has accepted a universal form and offer this ākāśa-dipa  which is very dear to lord Hari. Oh my lord, let me achieve devotion unto you by observing this vrata.” Glories of Akash dvip  In the Padma purāna it is said: “ A person who places a great lamp high in the sky during the month of kārttika takes all his relatives with him to visnuloka.

Bhisma Pancaka vrata is named after Bhisma because he got it from the Lord and followed it. This is stated in Rupa Goswami's Mathura-mahatmya (189), where he cites a verse from Padma Purana (which is not traceable today): atha bhīṣma-pañcake, pādme bhīṣmaṁ prati śrī-kṛṣṇa-vacanam— tvayā kṛte vrate paścāt khyāsyate bhīṣma-pañcakam | ye tatra janma-bhūmau me kariṣyanti mahā-vratam | mathurāyāṁ tu gāṅgeyā teṣāṁ bhaktiḥ kare sthitā || Residing in Mathurā During Bhiṣma-pañcaka. In the Padma Purāna, Śri Kṛṣna says to Bhiṣma: O Gaṅgeya, this vow you have followed will henceforth be known as Bhiṣma-pañcaka. They who follow this great vow in My birthplace, Mathurā, find pure devotional service resting in their hand. Bhisma-pancaka is elaborately described in the Uttara khanda of the Padma Purana (ch.124). It is stated there that it is named after Bhisma because he received it from the Lord: bhīṣmeṇaitad yataḥ prāptaṁ vrataṁ pañca-dinātmakam sakāśād vāsudevasya tenoktaṁ bhīṣma-pañcakam "
