दिव्यॉल्लोकान् विचरति दिव्यैर्भोगै: समन्वित: । विबुधानां प्रसादेन श्रिया परमया युत:
divyāṁl lokān vicarati divyair bhogaiḥ samanvitaḥ | vibudhānāṁ prasādena śriyā paramayā yutaḥ ||
Vaiśampāyana dit : Comblé de délices célestes, il circule librement à travers les mondes divins ; et, par la faveur des dieux, il est doté de la plus haute splendeur et prospérité. Ce vers souligne la vision éthique du Mahābhārata : l’action méritoire porte ses fruits au-delà de la mort et s’achève en un honneur rayonnant accordé par la grâce divine.
