Bhīṣma sprach: Hinter ihm ziehen, ihm folgend, entzückende goldene Vimānas—glänzend und glückverheißend—begleitet von Gandharvas und Apsaras, die göttliche Blumengirlanden und duftende Salben tragen. Das Bild kündet von der Ehre und dem himmlischen Empfang, der einem Menschen großen Verdienstes zuteilwird.
