एते चान्ये च बहवो दानेन तपसैव च । महात्मानो गता: स्वर्ग शिष्टात्मानो जितेन्द्रिया:,ये तथा और भी बहुत-से शिष्ट स्वभाववाले जितेन्द्रिय महात्मा दान और तपस्यासे स्वर्गलोकमें चले गये

ete cānye ca bahavo dānena tapasāiva ca | mahātmāno gatāḥ svargaṁ śiṣṭātmāno jitendriyāḥ ||

Sinabi ni Vyāsa: “Ang mga ito, at marami pang iba—mga marangal ang loob, mapagpigil sa sarili, may disiplina, at nagtagumpay laban sa mga pandama—ay nakaabot sa langit sa pamamagitan ng pagkakawanggawa at ng pag-aayuno at pagninilay (tapas).”

Educational Q&A

Heavenly attainment is presented as the fruit of dharmic discipline: generosity (dāna) and austerity (tapas), supported by inner refinement (śiṣṭa-ācāra) and sense-mastery (jitendriyatā).

Vyāsa is describing the destiny of many exemplary persons, stating that they reached Svarga because their lives were marked by charity, austerity, and self-control.
