भूमिदानस्य पुण्यानि फल स्वर्ग: पुरंदर । हिरण्यपुष्पाश्नौीषध्य: कुशकाञ्चनशाद्धला:,पुरंदर! भूमिदानके जो पुण्य हैं, उनके फलरूपमें स्वर्ग, सुवर्णमय फूल देनेवाली ओषधियाँ तथा सुनहरे कुश और घाससे ढकी हुई भूमि प्राप्त होती हैं
Bhīṣma uvāca | bhūmidānasya puṇyāni phalaṃ svargaḥ purandara | hiraṇyapuṣpā oṣadhayaḥ kuśakāñcanaśādvalāḥ ||
ビーシュマは言った。「おおプランダラ（インドラ）よ、土地を施す功徳は天界という果を結ぶ。そこでは薬草が黄金の花を咲かせ、聖なるクシャ草（kuśa）も地の芝も、まるで黄金のごとく輝く。」ゆえに土地の布施は、最も実り豊かなダルマの行いとして讃えられ、崇高で吉祥なる享楽をもたらすのである。

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that bhūmidāna (donating land) is a highly meritorious act whose karmic fruit is attainment of svarga, poetically described as a realm of golden, auspicious abundance—highlighting the ethical value of generosity and support of livelihood/ritual life through land-gift.
In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhishma instructs Yudhiṣṭhira on dharma, especially gifts and their fruits. Here he addresses Indra (Purandara) while describing the heavenly rewards associated with the donation of land.
