毗湿摩说道：“噢，天帝因陀罗啊，在来世，施地之人将被流淌着蜂蜜与酥油（ghee）的河流所滋养，又被载着乳与凝乳（酸乳）的河流所慰藉，使其满足而清凉。”

Educational Q&A
The verse teaches the exceptional merit of vasudhā-dāna (donating land): such charity is said to yield abundant, nourishing, and divine enjoyments in the afterlife, symbolized by rivers flowing with honey, ghee, milk, and curds that ‘satisfy’ the donor.
Bhishma is instructing (addressing Indra as a rhetorical witness) about the fruits of charitable acts. Here he describes the posthumous reward for one who gives land: in the other world, wondrous rivers of rich substances provide satisfaction and comfort to that donor.
