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

Devanagari script

वयोरूपविलासिन्यो लभते नात्र संशय: । वह कमलके समान वर्णवाले विमानपर चढ़ता है और वहाँ उसे श्यामवर्णा, सुवर्णसदश गौर वर्णवाली, सोलह वर्षकी-सी अवस्थावाली और नूतन यौवन तथा मनोहर रूप- विलाससे सुशोभित देवांगनाएँ प्राप्त होती हैं। इसमें संशय नहीं है

Transliteration

vayorūpavilāsinyō labhate nātra saṁśayaḥ |

Translation

Bhīṣma says that the doer surely attains celestial maidens endowed with the charm of youth, beauty, and graceful allure—there is no doubt about this. He ascends a lotus-hued vimāna, and there he is granted heavenly maidens—some dark-complexioned, some fair as gold—seeming sixteen years of age, radiant with fresh youth and captivating loveliness.
