毗湿摩说道：“为此人备有一乘天车，光辉炽盛，如十二日同耀。其华彩更因无价宝珠、珍珠与珊瑚而增。天车周匝以群天鹅之列，又遍布‘那伽之道’（蜿蜒而明耀的行程），车中回响鸣声，饰以孔雀与查克拉瓦迦鸟，并安立于梵天之界。其内建有巍峨宫阙。大王啊，那永恒居处充满众多男女。此乃通达法义之大圣仙安祇罗所宣说。”

Educational Q&A
Righteous conduct (dharma) is portrayed as yielding not merely social order on earth but also exalted posthumous attainments—symbolized here by a radiant vimāna and residence in Brahmaloka—affirming a moral universe where merit bears fruit.
Bhishma, instructing the king, describes a magnificent celestial vimāna prepared for a meritorious person, detailing its brilliance, ornaments, auspicious birds, and its establishment in Brahmaloka, and notes that this account was taught by the sage Aṅgiras.
