Educational Q&A
Heaven is attained by a life grounded in faith, compassion, forgiveness, love of the virtuous, and steady discernment between dharma and adharma; moral character and ethical clarity are presented as the decisive causes.
Śrī Maheśvara is instructing about the marks of truly good people, listing inner virtues and ethical discernment, and stating their फल (result): they become svargagāmin—destined for heavenly realms.
