अबुद्धिपूर्वकपापविमोचनप्रश्नः — Janamejaya’s Unintended Transgression and the Indrota Rebuke
स प्रेत्य लभते लोकानक्षयानिति शुश्रुम । “जो गृहस्थ यथाशक्ति अपने धर्मका पालन करता है, वह मरनेके पश्चात् अक्षय लोकोंमें जाता है, ऐसा हमने सुन रखा है
sa pretya labhate lokān akṣayān iti śuśruma
ہم نے سنا ہے کہ جو گِرہستھ اپنی بساط کے مطابق اپنے دھرم کی پابندی کرتا ہے، وہ مرنے کے بعد اَکشیہ (ناقابلِ زوال) لوکوں کو پاتا ہے۔
भीष्म उवाच
