शरीरन्यासमोक्षेण मनसा निर्मलेन च । स्वप्नभूतांश्व ताललोकान् पश्यन्तीहापि सुव्रता:
śarīra-nyāsa-mokṣeṇa manasā nirmalena ca | svapna-bhūtāṁś ca tāl lokān paśyantīhāpi suvratāḥ ||
Bhīṣma sprach: Durch die Befreiung, die eintritt, wenn man den Leib ablegt, und durch einen geläuterten Geist schauen die disziplinierten und tugendhaften Übenden—selbst noch hier—jene Welten, die wie ein Traum erscheinen.

Educational Q&A
A yogin with a purified mind can perceive higher realms even while living; at the time of death, relinquishing bodily identification becomes a lucid release rather than a bewildering end.
Bhīṣma (Pitāmaha), instructing on dharma and spiritual discipline, explains the experiential insight of disciplined practitioners: through purity of mind and the act of laying aside the body, they behold subtle worlds that seem dream-like.
