वयोरूपविलासिन्यो लभते नात्र संशय: । वह कमलके समान वर्णवाले विमानपर चढ़ता है और वहाँ उसे श्यामवर्णा

vayorūpavilāsinyō labhate nātra saṁśayaḥ |

భీష్ముడు చెప్పెను—అతడు కమలవర్ణమైన విమానంపై అధిరోహించి, అక్కడ శ్యామవర్ణా, స్వర్ణసదృశ గౌరవర్ణా, పదహారు ఏళ్ల వయస్సు వంటి యౌవనంతో, నూతన యౌవన-మనోహర రూపవిలాసాలతో ప్రకాశించే దేవాంగనలను పొందును; ఇందులో సందేహం లేదు.

Educational Q&A

The verse emphasizes certainty of karmic result: a commended deed yields a definite reward—here expressed as the attainment of heavenly maidens characterized by youth, beauty, and charm—stressing that moral causality is reliable (“no doubt”).

Bhīṣma, instructing on dharma and its fruits, describes the assured heavenly enjoyment that follows from a particular meritorious practice being discussed in the surrounding passage, concluding with the emphatic assurance that there is no uncertainty about this outcome.
