Adhyaya 65 — Svarocis Enjoys on the Mountain; A Debate on Marital Fidelity and Desire
ताश्चापि सह तेनेति लेभिरे मुदमुत्तमाम् ।
रममाणाः यथा स्वर्गे तथा तत्र शिलोच्चये ॥
tāś cāpi saha teneti lebhire mudam uttamām | ramamāṇā yathā svarge tathā tatra śiloccaye ||
وتلك النسوة أيضًا، إذ كنّ معه، نلنَ أسمى البهجة—يلعبن هناك على العلوّ الصخري كما لو كنّ في السماء.

Pleasure can mimic svarga (heaven) in intensity, but the Purāṇic tendency is to ask whether such joy is rooted in dharma (right relation, loyalty, inner steadiness) or merely sensory excitement.
Ākhyāna (illustrative narrative) used to introduce a dharmic discussion; not a direct sarga/manvantara/genealogy passage.
‘Heaven on the mountain’ hints at the mind’s capacity to project paradise through contact and imagination; the subsequent dialogue probes the hidden dissatisfaction within such projections.
