Thus accoutred, he received great honours in the celestial region for many long years. With Gandharvas in his company, for full twenty-one thousand years, he sports in bliss with Indra himself in the abode of Indra. He roves at pleasure every day through the various celestial regions, riding on celestial cars and conveyances, and surrounded by celestial dainsels of great beauty. He is able to go to the abode of the Sun, of the Moon, and of Shiva. O king, Indeed, he succeeds in living in the same region with Vishnu himself. It is even so, O inonarch. There is no doubt in this,
अथ वर्षगणानेवं स्वर्गलोके महीयते। ततो गन्धर्वसहितः सहस्राण्येकविंशतिम्॥ पुरन्दरपुरे रम्ये शक्रेण सह मोदते। दिव्ययानविमानेषु लोकेषु विविधेषु च॥ दिव्यनारीगणाकीर्णो निवसत्यमरो यथा। ततः सूर्यस्य भवने चन्द्रस्य भवने तथा॥ शिवस्य भवने राजन् विष्णोर्याति सलोकताम्। एवमेतन्महाराज नात्र कार्या विचारणा॥
