Shloka 1203
मानसतीर्थ-शौचप्रशंसा | Praise of the ‘Mental Tīrtha’ and the Marks of Purity
सर्वकामगमे दिव्ये कल्पायुतशतं समा: । वह भोगसे सम्पन्न हो अपने तेजसे निर्मल सूर्यकी भाँति प्रकाशित होता है और सुन्दर कान्तिवाली
sarvakāmagame divye kalpāyutaśataṃ samāḥ |
ビーシュマは語った。「あらゆる願いを成就させるその神なるヴィマーナにおいて、功徳ある男は—己が霊的光輝の力によって浄められた太陽のごとく—無量の時を歓楽のうちに過ごす。天衣と天の宝飾をまとい、日輪のように輝く繊細な天女たちが、幾十万カルパにもわたり彼を楽しませる。」この段は、天上の快楽を積徳の果として位置づけ、欲楽そのものをダルマの究竟としないことを示す。

The verse presents a karmic-ethical principle: extraordinary pleasures and honors in heavenly realms arise as results of puṇya (merit) and tejas (spiritual radiance). Enjoyment is depicted as a consequence of righteous conduct, not as an independent goal.
Bhishma describes a virtuous man ascending to a divine vimāna that fulfills all desires. Shining celestial maidens, adorned with divine attire and ornaments, entertain him for immense cosmic durations measured in kalpas.
