அவர்கள் அனைவரும் பிரம்மலோகத்திற்குப் பின்வரும் ‘சந்தானிக’ எனும் லோகத்தை அடைகின்றனர்; வானரர்கள் தமக்குரிய விரும்பிய யோனியையும், ராக்ஷஸர்களும் ராக்ஷஸ நிலையும் பெறுகின்றனர்।
Narrator (contextual Purāṇic narration within Ayodhyāmāhātmya)
Tirtha: Svargadvāra (implied locus of Santānika doctrine)
Type: ghat
Scene: A schematic yet poetic vision of realms: Santānika shining just beneath Brahmaloka; streams of souls—humans, Vānaras, Rākṣasas—moving to their respective destinations, guided by divine order.
Sacred merit yields graded destinations: a high realm for the devoted, and fitting outcomes aligned with one’s nature and destiny.
The statement continues the Svargadvāra–Ayodhyā promise, explaining the stature of Santānika-loka.
No new ritual; it is a results-summary (phala-śruti) describing the hierarchy of attainments.
