मानसतीर्थ-शौचप्रशंसा | Praise of the ‘Mental Tīrtha’ and the Marks of Purity
विमान सूर्यचन्द्रा भं दिव्यं समधिगच्छति । जातरूपमयं युक्त सर्वरत्नसमन्वितम्
vimānaṃ sūryacandrābhaṃ divyaṃ samadhigacchati | jātarūpamayaṃ yuktaṃ sarvaratnasamanvitam ||
毗湿摩说:此人将得一乘天界飞车(vimāna),光辉如日月;以黄金铸成,器用具足,并镶缀一切宝珠。就伦理而言,此偈以天界成就为善行功德之果,所示之赏并非徒然奢华,而是法(dharma)吉祥果报的可见标记。
भीष्म उवाच
Dharma and meritorious conduct yield auspicious results; the verse depicts a heavenly reward—an effulgent, jewel-adorned golden vimāna—as a symbolic outcome of accumulated puṇya.
In Bhīṣma’s instruction, he describes the kind of celestial attainment granted to a deserving person: the recipient ‘attains’ a divine vehicle radiant like the sun and moon, golden, well-appointed, and ornamented with all jewels.
