devatāyatanānāṁ ca prekṣya pūjāṁ kṛtāṁ dvijaiḥ | brahmalokastham ātmānaṁ mene sa nṛpasattamaḥ ||
द्विजांनी देवालयांत केलेली पूजा-विधी पाहून त्या नृपश्रेष्ठाने असे मानले की जणू मी ब्रह्मलोकातच येऊन पोहोचलो आहे।

Educational Q&A
Properly performed worship and the presence of disciplined ritual specialists (dvijas) can transform a place into an experience of the divine; reverence and right conduct elevate perception and cultivate humility even in a king.
Vaiśampāyana narrates that King Duṣyanta, upon witnessing Brahmins conducting temple worship according to established rites, feels such sanctity and splendor that he believes he has reached Brahmaloka.
