The specific verse in the Gītā Māhātmya (traditionally found in the Padma Purana) that explicitly mentions “ananta phalam” is:
भगवदाराधनस्यैव अनन्तफलदायिनी ।
गीता-शास्त्रमिदं पुण्यं सर्वशास्त्रमयी स्मृता ॥
Transliteration:
Bhagavad-ārādhanasyaiva ananta-phala-dāyinī
Gītā-śāstram idaṁ puṇyaṁ sarva-śāstra-mayī smṛtā
Meaning:
“This sacred scripture, the Gita, is said to embody all scriptures; it bestows the infinite fruits of worship of the Lord.”
In many editions, this appears in Chapter 1 of the Gītā Māhātmya (verse numbering varies, often around verse 7–10 depending on the publication).
This verse is the source of the idea summarized as:
“Gītā bhagavat-ārādhanasya ananta-phalam”
— “The Gita grants the infinite fruits of worship of Bhagavan.”
If you would like, I can provide the full first chapter of Gītā Māhātmya with translation.
