Shloka 107
मानसतीर्थ-शौचप्रशंसा | Praise of the ‘Mental Tīrtha’ and the Marks of Purity
स रथैनन्दिघोषैश्न पृष्ठतो हानुगम्यते । देवकन्यासमारूढै: काउ्चनैर्विमलै: शुभै:
sa rathair nandighoṣaiś ca pṛṣṭhato 'nugamyate | devakanyā-samārūḍhaiḥ kāñcanaiḥ vimalaiḥ śubhaiḥ ||
毗湿摩说道：“在他身后，有许多战车相随，发出欢悦的凯旋呼声，其声深沉如雷云轰鸣。那些金色的战车——洁净无瑕，吉祥瑞应——其上坐着天界仙女。此段以光明而井然的行列，象征法（dharma）的道德果报，尤指布施与严谨持守之功德：它礼敬正直之人，并宣扬其福德。”

The verse presents a vivid image of the auspicious results of dharmic conduct—especially charity and disciplined observances like fasting—showing that merit (puṇya) brings honor, purity, and elevated companionship, symbolized by golden chariots and celestial attendants.
Bhīṣma is describing the posthumous or otherworldly honor accorded to a righteous person: a grand procession of resonant chariots follows him, and celestial maidens ride upon those auspicious vehicles, proclaiming his merit.
