मानसतीर्थ-शौचप्रशंसा | Praise of the ‘Mental Tīrtha’ and the Marks of Purity
अर्च्यते वै विमानस्थ: कामभोगैश्न सेव्यते । वह विमानपर विराजमान होता है और देखनेमें परम सुन्दरी तथा मधुरभाषिणी दिव्य नारियाँ उसकी पूजा करती तथा उसे काम-भोगका सेवन कराती हैं ।।
arcyate vai vimānasthaḥ kāmabhogaiś ca sevyate | phalaṃ padmaśata-prakhyaṃ mahākalpaṃ daśādhikam ||
ସେ ଦିବ୍ୟ ବିମାନରେ ଅଧିଷ୍ଠିତ ହୋଇ ବିରାଜେ ଏବଂ କାମଭୋଗରେ ସେବିତ ହୁଏ। ପରମ ସୁନ୍ଦରୀ ଓ ମଧୁରଭାଷିଣୀ ଦିବ୍ୟ ନାରୀମାନେ ତାହାକୁ ପୂଜା କରନ୍ତି ଓ ଇଚ୍ଛିତ ଭୋଗ ଦାନ କରନ୍ତି। ତାହାର ଫଳ ଶତ ପଦ୍ମ ସମ ଦୀପ୍ତିମାନ, ଏକ ମହାକଳ୍ପ ଓ ତାହାଠାରୁ ଦଶ ଅଧିକ କାଳ ପର୍ଯ୍ୟନ୍ତ ଟିକେ॥

Educational Q&A
Bhīṣma emphasizes the doctrine of karma-phala: righteous or meritorious conduct yields exalted results, described here as heavenly honor, service, and long-lasting enjoyment—illustrating that actions have proportionate, enduring consequences.
Bhīṣma is describing the posthumous reward of a person who has earned great merit: the individual resides in a celestial vimāna and is worshipped and served by divine, beautiful, sweet-speaking women, enjoying pleasures for an immense span of time.
