के गुणास्तत्र वसतां कि तप: कश्न निश्चय: । स्वर्गे तत्र सुखं कि च दोषो वा देवदूतक
Transliteration
ke guṇās tatra vasatāṁ kiṁ tapaḥ kaś ca niścayaḥ | svarge tatra sukhaṁ kiṁ ca doṣo vā devadūtaka ||
Translation
Vyāsa berkata: “Kebajikan apa yang dimiliki mereka yang tinggal di sana? Tapa apakah yang mereka jalankan, dan tekad teguh apa yang menuntun mereka? Kebahagiaan seperti apa yang ada di surga itu—dan adakah cela sedikit pun, wahai utusan kecil para dewa?”
