Skanda Purana — Prabhasa Khanda, Shloka 16
बुभुक्षा नैव तृष्णा च निद्रालस्ये न च प्रभो । रंभाद्यप्सरसो मुख्या गंधर्वास्तुंबरादयः । रमयंति नरं तत्र गीतैर्नृत्यैरनेकशः
bubhukṣā naiva tṛṣṇā ca nidrālasye na ca prabho | raṃbhādyapsaraso mukhyā gaṃdharvāstuṃbarādayaḥ | ramayaṃti naraṃ tatra gītairnṛtyairanekaśaḥ
ຂ້າແຕ່ພຣະເຈົ້າ ທີ່ນັ້ນບໍ່ມີຄວາມຫິວ ຫຼືຄວາມກະຫາຍນ້ຳ ບໍ່ມີອາການງ່ວງນອນ ຫຼືເມື່ອຍລ້າ. ອັບສະຣາຜູ້ເປັນຫົວໜ້າ ເຊັ່ນ ຣັມພາ ແລະອື່ນໆ ກັບຄົນດົນຕີສະຫວັນ (ຄັນທະວະ) ເຊັ່ນ ຕຸມບະຣາ ບັນເທີງມະນຸດດ້ວຍເພງ ແລະຟ້ອນລຳຫຼາຍປະການ.

FAQs
Svarga is portrayed as a realm of refined enjoyment and ease; the teaching later contrasts this pleasure with its impermanence.
This verse describes svarga rather than a terrestrial tīrtha; it serves the Arbuda Khaṇḍa narrative that motivates higher spiritual aims.
None; it is descriptive cosmology of svarga’s comforts.
