Educational Q&A

Enduring fame that arises from righteous, meritorious conduct functions as a continuing support for one’s posthumous well-being: as long as such kīrti remains alive in the human world, one is said to enjoy the imperishable realms of the virtuous.

In the didactic discourse of Śānti Parva, Vyāsa states a general principle about the fruit of virtue: the persistence of one’s good name in the world corresponds to continued enjoyment of the blessed worlds attained by puṇya.
