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 |
ビーシュマは言う。「そのような人はルドラたちの諸世界に至り、さらにはブラフマーの世界（ブラフマローカ）にも到る。享楽と繁栄に恵まれ、火のごとく赫々と燃え輝き、神のように天なる身体で光を放ち、天界の気質に満ちて、ヴァスたちの領域、マルトの群、サーディヤ、アシュヴィン双神、ルドラたち、そしてブラフマーの世界へも入るのである。」
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.
