Mahabharata — Svargarohana Parva, Shloka 26
अप्सरोगणसंकीर्ण विमानं लभते महत् | प्रहृष्ट: स तु देवैश्व दिवं याति समाहित:
apsarogaṇasaṅkīrṇaṁ vimānaṁ labhate mahat | prahṛṣṭaḥ sa tu devaiś ca divaṁ yāti samāhitaḥ ||
Wika ni Vaiśampāyana: Siya’y nagkakamit ng isang dakilang sasakyang makalangit na punô ng mga pangkat ng apsarā. Sa galak, at taglay ang natipong isip, siya’y umaakyat sa langit kasama ng mga diyos.

That timely and sincere generosity—especially satisfying worthy recipients—produces great spiritual merit, likened to the fruit of an Agniṣṭoma sacrifice, culminating in heavenly attainment.
Vaiśampāyana describes the reward of a meritorious person: a magnificent vimāna filled with apsarās appears, and the person, joyful and composed, proceeds to heaven in the company of the gods.
