FAQs
It highlights the temporariness of svarga: heavenly enjoyment lasts only while worldly identity (memory of mortal birth) remains suspended; when that memory returns, the merit is nearing exhaustion and the soul moves on.
By implication it contrasts svarga’s sensory rewards (music, honor) with the higher aim of bhakti—seeking lasting union with Vishnu rather than time-bound pleasures dependent on karma.
No specific Vedanga is taught directly; the practical takeaway is karmic causality (phala of dharma/ritual action) and discernment (viveka) about the limited duration of svarga.
