Vaiśampāyana sagte: „Man sah ihn emporsteigen zu den glückverheißenden Welten, die jene erlangen, die in Abgeschiedenheit und mit einspitzigem Sinn Opfer darbringen. Von dort erhob er sich weiter zu den Welten der Agnihotra-Vollzieher.“

Educational Q&A
The verse underscores a dharmic hierarchy of posthumous attainments: disciplined Vedic rites—especially focused sacrifice and the daily Agnihotra—are portrayed as generating merit that leads to progressively higher, auspicious realms.
The narrator describes a figure (implied from context) being seen ascending through successive heavenly worlds—first those of secluded/single-minded sacrificers, then the realms associated with Agnihotra practitioners—marking an upward journey through merit-based destinations.
