Suvarṇa-dāna: Kārttikeya’s Origin and the Defeat of Tāraka (सुवर्णदान-प्रसङ्गे कार्त्तिकेय-उत्पत्ति तथा तारकवधः)
ब्रह्म॒चर्येण तपसा यत्नेन च दमेन च
brahmacaryeṇa tapasā yatnena ca damena ca, śakyaḥ samāsādayituṃ golokaḥ puṣkarekṣaṇa.
毗湿摩说道：“噢，莲眼者啊，唯有以梵行（brahmacarya）、苦行（tapas）、不懈的精进与自制，方能抵达戈洛迦（Goloka）。此至上之境并非凭空欲求可得，而须恒常修持诸善行——调伏诸根、行诸福施、巡礼圣地（tīrtha）、大苦行，以及其他吉祥的善业。”

Educational Q&A
Attainment of a higher realm like Goloka is presented as the fruit of sustained ethical-spiritual discipline—brahmacarya, tapas, diligent effort, and sense-control—supported by other meritorious acts such as charity and pilgrimage.
In Anuśāsana Parva, Bhīṣma continues his instruction on dharma, explaining to his listener that exalted destinations are not gained casually but through rigorous vows and virtuous practice, emphasizing restraint and austerity as primary means.
