nadyo vīthyaḥ sabhā vāpyō dīrghikāś caiva sarvaśaḥ | ghoṣavanti ca yānāni yuktāny atha sahasraśaḥ ||
Bhīṣma said: “In those radiant worlds I beheld, on every side, rivers, broad streets, assembly-halls, wells and reservoirs, and long tanks; and I also saw thousands upon thousands of vehicles—harnessed and ready—resounding with auspicious noise. The scene proclaims an ordered, prosperous realm where merit bears visible fruit and where righteous living culminates in harmony, abundance, and dignified splendor.”
