Yayāti’s Ascent to Heaven
and Entry into Vaikuṇṭha
ते प्रसादात्तस्य तेषु निवसंति गृहेषु च । सर्वपुण्येषु दिव्येषु भोगाढ्येषु च मानवाः
te prasādāttasya teṣu nivasaṃti gṛheṣu ca | sarvapuṇyeṣu divyeṣu bhogāḍhyeṣu ca mānavāḥ
ആ ദേവന്റെ പ്രസാദത്താൽ അവർ ആ ഗൃഹങ്ങളിൽ വസിച്ച്, സർവ്വപുണ്യവും ദിവ്യതയും ഭോഗസമൃദ്ധിയുമുള്ള ഐശ്വര്യങ്ങൾ അനുഭവിക്കുന്നു।

Application: Treat home as a small temple: maintain purity, hospitality, charity, and regular worship; interpret prosperity as stewardship under God’s grace.

Visual Art Cues: {"scene_description":"Inside a serene neighborhood near the Viṣṇu temple, households glow with lamp-light and orderly abundance—grain jars, flower garlands, and clean courtyards.

Sandhi Resolution Notes: प्रसादात्तस्य = प्रसादात् + तस्य; निवसंति = निवसन्ति (अनुस्वार-लेखनभेदः); सर्वपुण्येषु इत्यत्र समासः।
It teaches that prosperity and auspicious living conditions arise through the grace (prasāda) of a revered divine or spiritual source, resulting in merit (puṇya) and enjoyment (bhoga).
It links both: enjoyment is presented as “bhogāḍhya” but grounded in “sarvapuṇya” and “divya,” implying pleasures aligned with righteousness and sacred merit.
The excerpt alone does not identify him; in Padma Purana such phrasing commonly refers to a deity, a sacred place, or a revered sage whose favor grants results. The immediately preceding verses are required to name the referent.
