सर्वकामगमे दिव्ये कल्पायुतशतं समा: । वह भोगसे सम्पन्न हो अपने तेजसे निर्मल सूर्यकी भाँति प्रकाशित होता है और सुन्दर कान्तिवाली

सर्वकामगमे दिव्ये कल्पायुतशतं समाः । स भोगसम्पन्नः स्वतेजसा निर्मलसूर्य इव प्रकाशते; दिव्यवस्त्राभरणविभूषिताः सुकुमार्यः सुराङ्गनाः, सूर्यसमप्रभाः, सर्वकामप्रदं मनोहरं दिव्यविमानमारुह्य, तं पुण्यात्मानं पुरुषं कल्पायुतशतं वर्षाणि रमयन्ति।

The verse presents a karmic-ethical principle: extraordinary pleasures and honors in heavenly realms arise as results of puṇya (merit) and tejas (spiritual radiance). Enjoyment is depicted as a consequence of righteous conduct, not as an independent goal.
Bhishma describes a virtuous man ascending to a divine vimāna that fulfills all desires. Shining celestial maidens, adorned with divine attire and ornaments, entertain him for immense cosmic durations measured in kalpas.
