Shloka 38
उपवासफलात्मकविधिः — Upavāsa as Yajña-Equivalent Merit
Angiras Teaching
तप्तकाञ्चनवर्णाभं विमानमधिरोहति । पूर्ण वर्षमहस्रं च ब्रह्मलोके महीयते
taptakāñcanavarṇābhaṃ vimānam adhirohati | pūrṇaṃ varṣasahasraṃ ca brahmaloke mahīyate ||
Wika ni Aṅgiras: “Sumasakay siya sa isang karwaheng makalangit na kumikislap na parang gintong pinainit, at sa loob ng ganap na isang libong taon ay pinararangalan at itinataas sa daigdig ni Brahmā.”
अंगियरा उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse underscores the doctrine of karma-phala: righteous or meritorious conduct yields exalted posthumous results—symbolized by ascent to a radiant vimāna and prolonged honor in Brahmaloka.
Aṅgiras is describing the फल (result) of a praised dharmic act: the beneficiary is depicted as mounting a golden-splendid celestial vehicle and being celebrated in Brahmā’s realm for a thousand years.
