Mahabharata — Svargarohana Parva, Shloka 473
दिव्यनारीगणाकीर्णो निवसत्यमरो यथा । दिव्य रथों और विमानोंपर आरूढ़ हो नाना प्रकारके लोकोंमें विचरता और दिव्य नारियोंसे घिरा हुआ देवताकी भाँति वहाँ निवास करता है
divyanārīgaṇākīrṇo nivasaty amaro yathā |
Wika ni Vaiśampāyana: Napalilibutan ng mga pangkat ng mga babaeng makalangit, siya’y nananahan doon na parang isang imortal—naglalakbay sa iba’t ibang dako ng langit na nakasakay sa mga banal na karwahe at mga sasakyang panghimpapawid, tinatamasa ang karangyaan na bunga ng kanyang kabutihang-loob at merito.
