Educational Q&A
Heavenly attainment is presented as the fruit of dharmic discipline: generosity (dāna) and austerity (tapas), supported by inner refinement (śiṣṭa-ācāra) and sense-mastery (jitendriyatā).
Vyāsa is describing the destiny of many exemplary persons, stating that they reached Svarga because their lives were marked by charity, austerity, and self-control.
