Shloka 6
तथा नास्त्यशुभ॑ किंचिन्न व्याधिस्तत्र न कलम: । यद् यच्च गावो मनसा तस्मिन् वाउछन्ति वासव
tathā nāsty aśubhaṁ kiñcin na vyādhis tatra na kalamaḥ | yad yac ca gāvo manasā tasmin vāñchanti vāsava ||
Bhīṣma berkata: “Demikian juga, tidak ada walau sedikit pun yang tidak baik di sana; di alam itu tiada penyakit dan tiada dukacita. Wahai Vāsava (Indra), apa sahaja yang diingini lembu-lembu di sana dalam hati, itulah yang mereka peroleh—ini aku saksikan sendiri. Mereka pergi sesuka hati, bergerak sesuka hati, dan dengan niat semata-mata memperoleh serta menikmati segala kenikmatan.”
