Brāhmaṇa-mahattva and Atithi-Dharma
Brahmagītā: Praise of Brāhmaṇas and norms of honor
स राजर्षिगगत: स्वर्ग कर्मणा तेन शाश्वतम् | राजर्षि उशीनर उस विमानमें बैठकर उस पुण्यकर्मके प्रभावसे सनातन दिव्यलोकको प्राप्त हुए
sa rājarṣir gataḥ svargaṁ karmaṇā tena śāśvatam |
स राजर्षिर्गतः स्वर्गं कर्मणा तेन शाश्वतम्। उशीनरो राजर्षिर्विमानेनासनेन तेन पुण्यकर्मप्रभावात् सनातनं दिव्यलोकं प्राप्तवान्।
श्येन उवाच
Righteous, meritorious action (puṇya-karma) yields lasting results: a life aligned with dharma can lead to exalted spiritual reward, here symbolized by attaining the eternal heavenly realm.
Śyena narrates that the royal sage Uśīnara, due to the power of his virtuous deed, ascends in a celestial chariot (vimāna) and reaches the everlasting divine world (svarga).
