Devanagari script

जगाम त्रिदिवं राजन्‌ संत्यज्येह कलेवरम्‌ । नरेश्वरर उसे देखकर महायशस्वी मुनि कुणिर्गर्ग बड़े प्रसन्न हुए और कुछ कालके पश्चात्‌ अपना यह शरीर छोड़कर स्वर्गलोकमें चले गये

Transliteration

jagāma tridivaṃ rājan saṃtyajyeha kalevaram |

Translation

Vaiśampāyana nói: “Tâu đại vương, rũ bỏ thân xác này nơi trần thế, ngài đã đi lên Tridiva (cõi trời).” Lời kể nhấn mạnh lý tưởng truyền thống: một đời sống viên mãn—nhất là sau khi hoàn tất bổn phận—kết thúc bằng sự buông bỏ thân thể trong an nhiên và thăng lên những cảnh giới cao hơn.

What is the core teaching?

The verse highlights the impermanence of the body and the ideal of a composed end: after one’s worldly role is fulfilled, relinquishing attachment to the body is portrayed as leading to a higher state (heaven/Tridiva).

What is happening in the narrative?

Vaiśampāyana, narrating to the king, states that the person in question abandoned his body in this world and went to the heavenly realm (Tridiva), marking the conclusion of that figure’s earthly life.
