Suvarṇa-dāna: Kārttikeya’s Origin and the Defeat of Tāraka (सुवर्णदान-प्रसङ्गे कार्त्तिकेय-उत्पत्ति तथा तारकवधः)
विमानानि सुयुक्तानि कामगानि च वासव । वासव! वहाँ न कोई दुर्भाग्य है और न अशुभ। वहाँ दिव्य वन, दिव्य भवन तथा परम सुन्दर एवं इच्छानुसार विचरनेवाले विमान मौजूद हैं
vimānāni suyuktāni kāmagāni ca vāsava | vāsava! tatra na kaścid durbhāgyam asti nāśubham | tatra divyāni vanāni divyāni bhavanāni ca paramasundarāṇi ca yathākāmaṃ vicaranti vimānāni santi |
قال بهيشما: «يا فاسافا (إندرا)! هناك لا وجودَ لشقاءٍ ولا لنحس. هناك بساتينُ سماويةٌ وقصورٌ سماوية، ومراكبُ جوّيةٌ بالغةُ الحسن تسير وفق المشيئة.»

The passage underscores that realms attained through dharma and merit are characterized by auspiciousness and freedom from misfortune; the comforts described (divine groves, mansions, wish-moving vimānas) are presented as fruits of righteous conduct rather than mere luxury.
Bhishma is addressing Vāsava (Indra) and describing a heavenly region where no inauspiciousness exists, emphasizing its divine environment and the presence of splendid vimānas that travel according to desire.
