गीतगन्धर्वघोषैश्न भेरीपणवनि:स्वनै: । सदा प्रह्लादितस्ताभिवदेवकन्याभिरिज्यते,वहाँ देवकन्याएँ गीत और वाद्योंके घोष तथा भेरी और पणवकी मधुर ध्वनिसे उस पुरुषको आनन्द प्रदान करती हुई सदा उसका पूजन करती हैं
gīta-gandharva-ghoṣaiś ca bherī-paṇava-niḥsvanaiḥ | sadā prahlāditaḥ tābhir deva-kanyābhir ijyate ||
ビーシュマは語った。そこでは、歌の響きと、ガンダルヴァ（Gandharva）さながらの音楽の讃声、またベーリー太鼓とパナヴァ太鼓（paṇava）の甘美な音によって、天女たちはその高貴なる人を常に歓ばせ、絶えず礼拝して仕える。

The verse highlights the moral logic of dharma: righteous conduct yields honor and joy as its fruit. The ‘worship’ by celestial maidens symbolizes the esteem and delight that accrue to a person of merit, reinforcing that ethical living is not merely restraint but a source of auspicious reward.
Bhishma describes a blessed state in which a worthy person is continually gladdened and honored in a divine setting. Celestial maidens offer music—songs and instrumental sounds (bherī and paṇava)—as a form of ongoing reverence.
