मानसतीर्थ-शौचप्रशंसा | Praise of the ‘Mental Tīrtha’ and the Marks of Purity
तत्र तत्र हि सिद्धार्थों देवकन्याभिरच्र्यते । फलं॑ बहुसुवर्णस्य यज्ञस्य लभते नर:
tatra tatra hi siddhārtho devakanyābhir arcayate | phalaṁ bahusuvarṇasya yajñasya labhate naraḥ ||
Бхишма сказал: «Там, в каждом таком мире, мужа, чья цель исполнена, чтят небесные девы. Он обретает плод заслуги, равный жертве, совершённой с обилием золота».

Educational Q&A
Bhīṣma emphasizes that righteous accomplishment brings honor and a high spiritual reward—comparable to the merit of an opulent, gold-endowed sacrifice—showing that moral-spiritual attainment is recognized and recompensed.
Bhīṣma describes the post-attainment condition of a successful person: in those higher realms he is revered by celestial maidens and receives the same merit-fruit as one would gain from performing a lavish sacrifice.
