Bhīṣma dit : «Parce qu’il a été rassasié par le flot des offrandes de Vasu (vasudhārā) et fortifié par cette radiance sacrée, ce dieu—satisfait de notre acte—conduira assurément (l’adorant) de ce monde terrestre jusqu’au monde de Brahmā.»

Educational Q&A
Sincere, abundant sacred offering and the resulting spiritual ‘radiance’ (tejas) please the deity; divine pleasure is portrayed as a cause for elevated post-mortem destiny—here, being led from the earthly realm to Brahmaloka—linking ethical-religious action with higher spiritual outcomes.
Bhīṣma explains that a deity has been gratified by a continuous stream of offerings associated with Vasu and has been strengthened by the generated tejas; pleased with this act, the deity is said to guide the beneficiary from earth to Brahmā’s world.
