Dehānta (Cyavana) and Upapatti: Kāśyapa’s Questions and the Siddha’s Account of Death, Pain, and Karmic Re-embodiment
यत्र विभ्राजते लोके स्वभासा सूर्यमण्डलम् । स्थानान्येतानि जानीहि जनानां पुण्यकर्मणाम्
yatra vibhrājate loke svabhāsā sūryamaṇḍalam | sthānāny etāni jānīhi janānāṁ puṇyakarmaṇām ||
悉达者说道：“当知：日轮在世间以自光辉照耀之处，乃是行诸福业者的住处。群星之光明界、皎洁的月轮、灿然的日轮之域，皆被称为正直之人受用其德行果报的归趣。”

Educational Q&A

A Siddha instructs the listener about the ‘stations’ (sthāna) attained after death according to one’s deeds, pointing to the visible celestial lights—especially the sun’s orb—as markers of the realms reached by those of virtuous conduct.
