毗湿摩波耶那说道：在普兰达罗（因陀罗）那可爱之城中，他与释迦罗同欢共乐。于是他在天界受人敬礼，居住多年；其后又二万一千年，与乾闼婆众同住因陀罗的华美城邑，伴随天帝共享天福。

The passage underscores the Mahābhārata’s moral logic of karma: righteous and meritorious action leads to honored residence in Svarga and companionship with divine beings, portraying heavenly enjoyment as a consequence of earned virtue rather than mere chance.
Vaiśampāyana describes a person (contextually, a meritorious soul) dwelling in Indra’s beautiful city, rejoicing with Indra; after many years, he continues for a vast span—twenty-one thousand years—enjoying celestial pleasures with Gandharvas in the presence of Devendra.
