Shloka 27
द्वितीयं पारणं प्राप्प सो$तिरात्रफलं लभेत् । सर्वरत्नमयं दिव्यं विमानमधिरोहति,जो मनुष्य दूसरा पारण पूरा करता है उसे अतिरात्र यज्ञका फल मिलता है। वह सर्वरत्नमय दिव्य विमानपर आरूढ़ होता है
dvitīyaṃ pāraṇaṃ prāpya so 'tirātraphalaṃ labhet | sarvaratnamayaṃ divyaṃ vimānam adhirohati ||
Vaiśampāyana said: Having completed the second observance of pāraṇa, a person gains the merit of the Atirātra sacrifice. He then ascends a divine aerial chariot, resplendent and fashioned as though of all precious gems—an image of reward proportionate to disciplined fulfillment of vowed duty.

The verse underscores karmaphala: careful completion of a prescribed observance (pāraṇa) yields merit comparable to a major Vedic sacrifice (Atirātra), illustrating that disciplined fulfillment of dharma brings elevated spiritual reward.
Vaiśampāyana describes a specific heavenly recompense: one who completes the ‘second pāraṇa’ attains the merit of the Atirātra and is granted ascent into a radiant, jewel-like celestial vimāna—signifying entry into higher realms due to earned merit.
