मानसतीर्थ-शौचप्रशंसा | Praise of the ‘Mental Tīrtha’ and the Marks of Purity

सर्वकामगमे दिव्ये कल्पायुतशतं समा: । वह भोगसे सम्पन्न हो अपने तेजसे निर्मल सूर्यकी भाँति प्रकाशित होता है और सुन्दर कान्तिवाली

sarvakāmagame divye kalpāyutaśataṃ samāḥ |

भीष्म म्हणाले—सर्व कामना पूर्ण करणाऱ्या त्या मनोहर दिव्य विमानात तो पुण्यात्मा पुरुष भोगसम्पन्न होऊन आपल्या तेजाने निर्मळ सूर्याप्रमाणे प्रकाशित होतो। दिव्य वस्त्रे व आभूषणांनी विभूषित, सूर्यसम तेजस्वी सुकुमार रमणी त्या विमानावर बसून दहा लाख कल्पांच्या वर्षांपर्यंत त्याचे मनोरंजन करतात।

Educational Q&A

The verse presents a karmic-ethical principle: extraordinary pleasures and honors in heavenly realms arise as results of puṇya (merit) and tejas (spiritual radiance). Enjoyment is depicted as a consequence of righteous conduct, not as an independent goal.

Bhishma describes a virtuous man ascending to a divine vimāna that fulfills all desires. Shining celestial maidens, adorned with divine attire and ornaments, entertain him for immense cosmic durations measured in kalpas.
