मानसतीर्थ-शौचप्रशंसा | Praise of the ‘Mental Tīrtha’ and the Marks of Purity
रुद्राणां च तथा लोकं ब्रह्मलोक॑ च गच्छति । वह पुरुष भोगसम्पन्न
rudrāṇāṃ ca tathā lokaṃ brahmalokaṃ ca gacchati | sa puruṣaḥ bhogasaṃpannaḥ tejasvī agnike samāna-dīptimān sva-divya-śarīreṇa devatā iva prakāśamānaḥ divyabhāva-yuktaḥ vasūn marudgaṇān sādhyagaṇān aśvinīkumārān rudrān tathā brahmaṇaḥ lokaṃ api gacchati |
Orang demikian mencapai alam para Rudra, bahkan juga Brahmaloka. Dipenuhi kenikmatan dan kemakmuran, bercahaya, menyala laksana api, bersinar dengan tubuh ilahi bagaikan dewa dan berwatak surgawi, ia memperoleh jalan menuju alam para Vasu, rombongan Marut, para Sādhya, pasangan Aśvin, para Rudra, dan juga alam Brahmā.
भीष्म उवाच
Educational Q&A
Bhishma teaches that sustained dharmic merit transforms a person into one endowed with spiritual splendor (tejas) and yields exalted posthumous attainments—access to higher divine realms such as Rudraloka and Brahmaloka.
In Bhishma’s instruction to Yudhiṣṭhira in the Anuśāsana Parva, he describes the फल (result) of a praised virtuous practice: the practitioner becomes radiant like fire and is said to reach the worlds of various divine classes—Vasus, Maruts, Sādhyas, Aśvins, Rudras—and even Brahmā’s realm.
