Dehānta (Cyavana) and Upapatti: Kāśyapa’s Questions and the Siddha’s Account of Death, Pain, and Karmic Re-embodiment
यत्र विभ्राजते लोके स्वभासा सूर्यमण्डलम् । स्थानान्येतानि जानीहि जनानां पुण्यकर्मणाम्
yatra vibhrājate loke svabhāsā sūryamaṇḍalam | sthānāny etāni jānīhi janānāṁ puṇyakarmaṇām ||
ສິດທະໄດ້ກ່າວວ່າ: «ຈົ່ງຮູ້ໄວ້ວ່າ ບ່ອນທີ່ດວງອາທິດສ່ອງແສງໃນໂລກດ້ວຍລັດສະໝີຂອງຕົນ ແມ່ນຖິ່ນພຳນັກຂອງຜູ້ທຳກຸສົນ. ໂລກອັນສະຫວ່າງໄສຂອງດາວ ວົງເດືອນອັນສົດໃສ ແລະວົງອາທິດອັນຮຸ່ງໂລດ ຖືກກ່າວວ່າເປັນຈຸດໝາຍທີ່ຜູ້ທຳດີເສວຍຜົນແຫ່ງຄຸນງາມຄວາມດີ».
सिद्ध उवाच
Meritorious action (puṇya-karma) leads to luminous posthumous destinations: the shining celestial regions associated with the stars, moon, and sun are described as abodes where the righteous experience the results of their virtue.
A Siddha instructs the listener about the ‘stations’ (sthāna) attained after death according to one’s deeds, pointing to the visible celestial lights—especially the sun’s orb—as markers of the realms reached by those of virtuous conduct.
