मानसतीर्थ-शौचप्रशंसा | Praise of the ‘Mental Tīrtha’ and the Marks of Purity
सुधारसं चोपजीवन्नमृतोपममुत्तमम् | वह दिव्य
sudhārasaṃ copajīvann amṛtopamam uttamam | sa divyaṃ uttamaṃ ca manoharaṃ vimānam āruhya virājate; śatasaṃkhyābhiḥ sundarībhiḥ paripūrṇe mahale sahasra-kalpān nivāsam karoti | tatra devatānāṃ bhojyam amṛta-sadṛśaṃ paramam sudhārasam pītvā sa jīvanaṃ nayati |
भीष्म म्हणाले—अमृतासारख्या उत्तम सुधारसावर उपजीविका करून तो दिव्य, श्रेष्ठ व मनोहर विमानावर विराजमान होतो; शेकडो सुंदरींनी भरलेल्या प्रासादात सहस्र कल्पांपर्यंत निवास करतो. तेथे देवांचे भोज्य, अमृतोपम परम सुधारस पिऊन तो जीवन घालवितो।

The verse highlights karma-phala: righteous, meritorious conduct yields exalted post-mortem results—long-lasting heavenly residence, divine conveyances, and refined enjoyments symbolized by sudhā-rasa comparable to amṛta.
Bhishma describes the splendor enjoyed by a meritorious person in heaven: he sits upon a divine vimāna, dwells for vast ages in a palace filled with beautiful companions, and lives by drinking the gods’ ambrosial nectar.
