मानसतीर्थ-शौचप्रशंसा | Praise of the ‘Mental Tīrtha’ and the Marks of Purity
पुण्डरीकप्रकाशं च विमानं लभते नर: । दीप्तसूर्याग्नितेजोभिर्दिव्यमालाभिरेव च
puṇḍarīkaprakāśaṃ ca vimānaṃ labhate naraḥ | dīptasūryāgnitejobhir divyamālābhir eva ca ||
Wika ni Bhīṣma: Ang taong iyon ay nagkakamit ng isang makalangit na sasakyang panghimpapawid, maningning na gaya ng puting lotus, nagliliyab sa ningning ng araw at apoy, at pinalalamutian ng mga banal na kuwintas ng bulaklak.

That dharmic, merit-producing conduct leads to honored, luminous posthumous attainments—depicted as receiving a radiant celestial vimāna and divine garlands—signifying purity, divine favor, and elevated destiny.
In Bhīṣma’s discourse on dharma in the Anuśāsana Parva, he describes the फल (result) of a praised practice or virtue: the person is welcomed in the next world with a lotus-bright celestial vehicle, blazing like sun and fire, and adorned with heavenly garlands.
