Sāttvika-vṛtta-kathana (Brahmā on the Conduct of Sattva) — Chapter 38
हित्वा सर्वाणि पापानि नि:शोका हाथ मानवा: । दिवं प्राप्प तु ते धीरा: कुर्वते वै ततस्तनू:
hitvā sarvāṇi pāpāni niḥśokāḥ mānavāḥ | divaṁ prāpya tu te dhīrāḥ kurvate vai tato tanūḥ ||
伐由说道:“抛却一切罪垢,人便离忧无悲。既得升天,那些坚定之灵便在天界受取诸身,以享受彼世的种种福乐。”
वायुदेव उवाच
Ethically, the verse links moral purification (abandoning pāpa) with inner freedom from grief (niḥśokatā) and with a favorable post-mortem destiny: attainment of heaven and the capacity to take on suitable forms there to enjoy the fruits of merit.
Vāyudeva is speaking about the fate of humans after renouncing sinful conduct: they become sorrowless, reach the heavenly realm, and then assume bodies/forms appropriate to that realm for experiencing its enjoyments.
