मानसतीर्थ-शौचप्रशंसा | Praise of the ‘Mental Tīrtha’ and the Marks of Purity
लोकान् वसूनामाप्रोति दिवाकरसमप्रभ: । कामचारी सुधाहारो विमानवरमास्थित:
lokān vasūnām āpnoti divākarasamaprabhaḥ | kāmacārī sudhāhāro vimānavaram āsthitaḥ ||
ビーシュマは言った。「太陽に等しい光を放ち、彼はヴァスたちの世界に至る。意のままに行き来し、甘露の食に養われ、最上の天の車(ヴィマーナ)に住まう。」
भीष्म उवाच
The verse presents the ethical idea that meritorious conduct yields elevated posthumous results: one gains radiant, divine status—access to higher realms, freedom of movement, and celestial enjoyments—symbolizing the fruition of dharma.
Bhīṣma is describing the heavenly attainment of a virtuous person: he reaches the realms of the Vasus, shines like the sun, moves at will, partakes of ambrosia, and rides in a splendid vimāna—an image of divine reward.
