FAQs
It presents svarga as a temporary reward: one enjoys honor there for a vast duration, but when accumulated merit (puṇya) is exhausted (kṣīṇa-karma), one must fall from that state.
In this context it primarily indicates the depletion of meritorious karma that produced the heavenly enjoyment; once that store is spent, the heavenly status cannot be sustained.
It cautions that worldly or heavenly rewards are impermanent; lasting welfare is not secured merely by merit that yields temporary enjoyment, but by pursuing higher liberation-oriented aims beyond svarga.
