Shloka 22
राजसूयविचारः — Deliberation on the Rajasuya and the Summoning of Kṛṣṇa
तपसा ये च तीव्रेण त्यजन्तीह कलेवरम् । ते तत् स्थानं समासाद्य श्रीमन्तो भान्ति नित्यश:
tapasā ye ca tīvreṇa tyajantīha kalevaram | te tat sthānaṃ samāsādya śrīmanto bhānti nityaśaḥ ||
នារទៈបាននិយាយថា៖ អ្នកណាដែលដោយតបស្យាដ៏តឹងរឹង បោះបង់រាងកាយនៅក្នុងលោកនេះ—ពួកគេបានទៅដល់ទីនោះ ហើយភ្លឺរលោងជានិច្ច ដោយពោរពេញដោយសិរីរុងរឿង។

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches that intense tapas (austerity and disciplined self-restraint) is ethically potent: those who renounce the body through severe ascetic practice attain an exalted divine realm and remain radiant there, suggesting a karmic linkage between inner discipline and posthumous spiritual status.
Nārada is describing who gains access to a glorious celestial station associated with Indra’s assembly. He includes severe ascetics among those who, after leaving the body, reach that realm and shine there perpetually.
