Educational Q&A

Bhishma emphasizes the karmic fruit of dharmic conduct: righteous merit leads to exalted post-mortem enjoyment in heavenly realms, symbolized by the drinking of sudhā (nectar) and long-lasting bliss.

Bhishma is describing the reward attained by a meritorious person: residence in a divine world, companionship of celestial maidens, and the enjoyment of supreme nectar-like sustenance for an immense duration (a thousand kalpas).
