Chapter 2: Sudarśana Upākhyāna — Atithi-Dharma and the Conquest of Mṛtyu
Gṛhastha-Vrata
अनेन चैव देहेन लोकांस्त्वमभिपत्स्यसे । निर्जितश्च त्वया मृत्युरैश्वर्य च तवोत्तमम्,“तुम इसी शरीरसे उन दिव्य लोकोंमें जाओगे; क्योंकि तुमने मृत्युको जीत लिया है और तुम्हें उत्तम ऐश्वर्य प्राप्त है
anena caiva dehena lokāṁs tvam abhipatsyase | nirjitaś ca tvayā mṛtyur aiśvaryaṁ ca tavottamam ||
Bhīṣma nói: “Ngay với thân này, ngươi sẽ đạt đến các cõi trời. Bởi ngươi đã chiến thắng tử thần, và quyền uy cùng phú quý tối thượng đã thuộc về ngươi.”

True victory is not merely worldly success but mastery over fear and mortality through dharma; such a person is said to have ‘conquered death’ and becomes fit for higher realms and supreme well-being.
Bhishma, in his instruction on dharma, blesses and affirms the listener’s spiritual attainment: the person will reach divine worlds in the same body, having overcome death and gained the highest form of prosperity and sovereignty.
