Incense, Lamp, and Bali Offerings; the Nahūṣa Dialogue
मानुष्यस्तत्र सर्वा: सम क्रियास्तस्य महात्मन: । प्रवृत्तास्त्रिदिवे राजन् दिव्याश्वैव सनातना:
mānuṣyas tatra sarvāḥ sama-kriyās tasya mahātmanaḥ | pravṛttās tridive rājan divyāś caiva sanātanāḥ ||
Бхишма сказал: «О царь, в том небесном мире (Тридиве) все человечески подобные обязанности и обычные деяния великодушного Нахуши продолжали совершаться; и так же без перерыва там шли божественные, вечные обряды и служения».

Even in heavenly realms, order (niyama) and dharma are sustained through ongoing prescribed actions—both those resembling human social duties and those that are distinctly divine and timeless. The verse underscores continuity of righteous conduct rather than a heaven of mere enjoyment.
Bhīṣma describes to the king the state of Nahūṣa in heaven: in Tridiva, the great king’s human-like observances and the eternal divine functions were actively maintained, indicating a structured, dharma-governed celestial life.
