FAQs
Yes. The verse functions as praise of the result of study, stating that learning the Svarga-khaṇḍa leads to the experience of varied enjoyments (nānā-bhoga).
It is a poetic simile to convey luxurious, sensual comfort and delight—an idiom for refined pleasure—rather than a technical ritual instruction.
It highlights how Purāṇic sections sometimes motivate study through promised results; readers can interpret it as encouragement to engage with the text, while remembering that other parts of the Padma Purāṇa also emphasize dharma, devotion, and self-restraint.
