The verse depicts the fruition of merit as celestial enjoyment—dwelling in splendor and pleasure—while implicitly situating such delights as outcomes of karma, not necessarily the highest spiritual goal beyond results.
Bhishma describes a 'divine-souled' being residing in a heavenly setting, seated on a superb vimana and enjoying the company of mind-delighting women, absorbed in rapturous pleasure.
