मानसतीर्थ-शौचप्रशंसा | Praise of the ‘Mental Tīrtha’ and the Marks of Purity

जो बहुत-सी सुवर्णकी दक्षिणासे युक्त इन्द्रप्रिय यज्ञका अनुष्ठान करता है तथा सत्यवादी, दानशील, ब्राह्मणभक्त, अदोषदर्शी, क्षमाशील, जितेन्द्रिय और क्रोधविजयी होता है, वह उत्तम गतिको प्राप्त होता है ।। पाण्डुरा भ्रप्रतीकाशे विमाने हंसलक्षणे | द्वे समाप्ते ततः पद्मे सो5प्सरोभिवसेत्‌ सह,वह सफेद बादलोंके समान चमकीले हंसोपलक्षित विमानपर बैठकर दो पद्म वर्षोतक समय समाप्त होनेतक अप्सराओंके साथ वहाँ निवास करता है

bhīṣma uvāca | yo bahu-sī suvarṇa-dakṣiṇā-yukta indra-priya-yajñasya anuṣṭhānaṃ karoti tathā satyavādī dānaśīlaḥ brāhmaṇa-bhaktaḥ adoṣa-darśī kṣamāśīlaḥ jitendriyaḥ krodha-vijayī ca bhavati sa uttamāṃ gatiṃ prāpnoti || pāṇḍura-bhra-pratīkāśe vimāne haṃsa-lakṣaṇe | dve samāpte tataḥ padme so 'psarobhir vaset saha ||

Bhishma said: One who performs a sacrifice dear to Indra, endowed with abundant gifts of gold, and who is truthful, generous, devoted to Brahmanas, one who does not look for faults, who is forgiving, self-controlled, and a conqueror of anger—such a person attains the highest course of destiny. Seated in a swan-marked celestial chariot, radiant like white clouds, he dwells there together with apsaras until two ‘Padma’ periods of time are completed.
