एहोहि पुरुषव्यात्र कृतमेतावता विभो । सिद्धि: प्राप्ता महाबाहो लोकाश्षाप्यक्षयास्तव

Vaiśampāyana said: “Come, O tiger among men, O mighty one. Enough has been done. O strong-armed hero, you have attained fulfillment; and the worlds that are yours are imperishable.”
वैशम्पायन उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse conveys closure and assurance: when one’s destined duty and ordeal have been completed, further striving is unnecessary, and the fruit—here described as imperishable realms—is secured. It emphasizes the ethical idea that rightful completion of one’s course leads to stable, enduring attainment.
In the Svargārohaṇa context, the narrator signals to the addressed hero that the journey/testing has reached its end: ‘enough has been done.’ The speaker affirms that the hero has achieved the intended goal and is entitled to inexhaustible worlds (akṣayā lokāḥ), marking a transition from trial to reward.
