Mahabharata — Anushasana Parva, Shloka 1083
मानसतीर्थ-शौचप्रशंसा | Praise of the ‘Mental Tīrtha’ and the Marks of Purity
सुधारसं चोपजीवन्नमृतोपममुत्तमम् | वह दिव्य
sudhārasaṃ copajīvann amṛtopamam uttamam | sa divyaṃ uttamaṃ ca manoharaṃ vimānam āruhya virājate; śatasaṃkhyābhiḥ sundarībhiḥ paripūrṇe mahale sahasra-kalpān nivāsam karoti | tatra devatānāṃ bhojyam amṛta-sadṛśaṃ paramam sudhārasam pītvā sa jīvanaṃ nayati |
毗湿摩说道：以最上等、如甘露般的妙精华为资生，他住于荣华之中。端坐在神圣、卓绝而迷人的天车（毗摩那）上，光辉照耀，居于满是数百美姬的宫殿，历经千劫。于彼处，他以饮那至上的“苏陀之味”（sudhā-rasa）度日——此乃天众之食，可比不死甘露（amṛta）。此段彰显业果之理：积德行善，终得细腻而长久的天界受用。

The verse highlights karma-phala: righteous, meritorious conduct yields exalted post-mortem results—long-lasting heavenly residence, divine conveyances, and refined enjoyments symbolized by sudhā-rasa comparable to amṛta.
Bhishma describes the splendor enjoyed by a meritorious person in heaven: he sits upon a divine vimāna, dwells for vast ages in a palace filled with beautiful companions, and lives by drinking the gods’ ambrosial nectar.
