Mahabharata — Anushasana Parva, Shloka 22
तेषां तेजस्तथा वीर्य देवानां ववृधे ततः । अवाप्ुवंश्वामरत्वं त्रिषु लोकेषु पूजितम्,तदनन्तर देवताओंके तेज और पराक्रमकी वृद्धि होने लगी। उन्होंने तीनों लोकोंमें सम्मानित होकर अमरत्व प्राप्त कर लिया
teṣāṃ tejastathā vīryaṃ devānāṃ vavṛdhe tataḥ | avāpuvaṃśv amaratvaṃ triṣu lokeṣu pūjitam ||
毗湿摩说：其后，诸天的光辉与威力日益增长。为三界所敬奉，他们证得受人尊崇的不死之境——昭示神力唯在契合正法秩序与应得功德时，方能得以维系并被推崇。

The verse highlights a moral-cosmic principle: when divine beings (or, by extension, righteous agents) act in harmony with dharma and earn due honour, their inner power (tejas) and effective strength (vīrya) grow, culminating in lasting renown and an elevated state symbolised here as immortality.
Bhishma describes the aftermath of a prior event: the gods experience an increase in radiance and prowess, and, being honoured across the three worlds, they attain the celebrated condition of immortality.
