Kurukṣetra–Samantapañcaka Māhātmya: King Kuru’s Ploughing and Indra’s Boon (प्रजापतेरुत्तरवेदिः समन्तपञ्चकं)
जगाम त्रिदिवं राजन् संत्यज्येह कलेवरम् । नरेश्वरर उसे देखकर महायशस्वी मुनि कुणिर्गर्ग बड़े प्रसन्न हुए और कुछ कालके पश्चात् अपना यह शरीर छोड़कर स्वर्गलोकमें चले गये
jagāma tridivaṃ rājan saṃtyajyeha kalevaram |
毗湿摩波衍那说：“大王啊，他在此舍弃了这具形骸，便往三十三天（Tridiva，天界）而去。”叙事强调传统理想：一生功业圆满——尤其在尽了本分之后——便能安然舍身，上升至更高的境界。

The verse highlights the impermanence of the body and the ideal of a composed end: after one’s worldly role is fulfilled, relinquishing attachment to the body is portrayed as leading to a higher state (heaven/Tridiva).
Vaiśampāyana, narrating to the king, states that the person in question abandoned his body in this world and went to the heavenly realm (Tridiva), marking the conclusion of that figure’s earthly life.
