rājasūyajitāṁl lokān aśvamedhābhivardhitān | prāpnuhi tvaṁ mahābāho tapasaś ca mahāphalam ||
ویشَمپایَن نے کہا— اے مہاباہو! وہ عالَم حاصل کر جو راجسوئے یَجْن سے جیتے گئے اور اشومیدھ یَجْن سے مزید بڑھائے گئے؛ اور اپنی تپسیا کے عظیم پھل سے بہرہ مند ہو۔

The verse links ethical causality (karma) with its results: great royal sacrifices and disciplined austerity generate merit that ripens as elevated posthumous realms. It underscores that actions—ritual, duty, and self-restraint—bear corresponding fruits.
In the Svargārohaṇa context, the narrator Vaiśampāyana describes an address to a heroic figure, urging him to attain the heavenly worlds earned through the Rājasūya and enhanced by the Aśvamedha, and to enjoy the reward of his tapas.
