Chapter 2: Sudarśana Upākhyāna — Atithi-Dharma and the Conquest of Mṛtyu
Gṛhastha-Vrata
अनेन चैव देहेन लोकांस्त्वमभिपत्स्यसे । निर्जितश्च त्वया मृत्युरैश्वर्य च तवोत्तमम्,“तुम इसी शरीरसे उन दिव्य लोकोंमें जाओगे; क्योंकि तुमने मृत्युको जीत लिया है और तुम्हें उत्तम ऐश्वर्य प्राप्त है
anena caiva dehena lokāṁs tvam abhipatsyase | nirjitaś ca tvayā mṛtyur aiśvaryaṁ ca tavottamam ||
ด้วยกายนี้เองท่านจักบรรลุถึงโลกสวรรค์ทั้งหลาย เพราะท่านได้พิชิตความตายแล้ว และอิศวรรย์อันสูงสุดย่อมเป็นของท่าน

True victory is not merely worldly success but mastery over fear and mortality through dharma; such a person is said to have ‘conquered death’ and becomes fit for higher realms and supreme well-being.
Bhishma, in his instruction on dharma, blesses and affirms the listener’s spiritual attainment: the person will reach divine worlds in the same body, having overcome death and gained the highest form of prosperity and sovereignty.
