लभन्ते हि शुभं सर्वे रुद्रानलवसुप्रभा: । भुवि कृत्वा शुभं कर्म मोदन्ते दिवि दैवतैः
labhante hi śubhaṃ sarve rudrānalavasuprabhāḥ | bhuvi kṛtvā śubhaṃ karma modante divi daivataiḥ |
毗湿摩说道:“诚然,他们皆得吉祥之报。其光辉如楼陀罗(Rudra)、阿耆尼(Agni)与诸婆苏(Vasus)。他们在大地上行诸善业;如今在天界与诸神同欢,享受自身功德之果。”
भीष्म उवाच
Bhīṣma emphasizes the ethical principle that auspicious, righteous action (śubha karma) performed in human life yields auspicious results after death—culminating in heavenly joy and divine companionship. Moral conduct is portrayed as transformative, granting a radiance comparable to revered deities.
In Bhīṣma’s instruction within the Anuśāsana Parva, he describes the posthumous state of certain virtuous persons: because they performed noble deeds on earth, they now dwell in heaven, rejoicing with the gods and enjoying the fruits of their merit.
