On Those Worthy of Honor and Salutation
प्राणांस्त्यक्त्वा मतज्रीडपि सम्प्राप्त: स्थानमुत्तमम् । इस प्रकार उसे वर देकर इन्द्र वहीं अन्तर्धान हो गये। मतंग भी अपने प्राणोंका परित्याग करके उत्तम स्थान (ब्रह्मलोक)-को प्राप्त हुआ
śakra uvāca — prāṇāṁs tyaktvā mataṅgo ’pi samprāptaḥ sthānam uttamam |
シャクラ（インドラ）は言った。「命の息を捨て去ったのち、マタンガもまた至上の住処に到った。」かくして恩寵を授けるや、インドラはその場で姿を消した。マタンガもまた人の命を捨て、最高の境地—ブラフマローカ（梵天界）—へと至った。

Educational Q&A
The verse highlights that steadfast spiritual striving and moral integrity, when acknowledged by divine authority (Indra), can culminate in attaining the highest realm; relinquishing attachment to life itself becomes the gateway to the supreme state.
Indra (Śakra) grants a boon and then disappears; thereafter Mataṅga gives up his life-breaths and attains the supreme abode, identified here as Brahmaloka.
