Educational Q&A

Those who firmly rely on satya (truthfulness) and dharma (righteous conduct) become spiritually accomplished (siddha) and attain exalted, enduring realms such as Brahmaloka and Somaloka; ethical integrity is presented as the causal path to higher attainment.

Maheshvara is describing the destiny of sages who are established in truth and dharma: they proceed to highly meritorious celestial/spiritual worlds—Brahmaloka and the eternal Somaloka—illustrating the fruits of disciplined, righteous living.
