Abandoning various objects of enjoyment, I shall now, by a righteous battle, repair to the regions of Shakra, obtaining the companionship of those that have attained to the highest end. Forsooth, that is the habitation of pious heroes, who never retreat from battle, who are intelligence and devoted to truth and who celebrate sacrifices, who took bath in the current of weapons, they always reside in the heaven The various divisions of Apsaras, forsooth, look with joy at such heroes when engaged in battle. Forsooth, the Pitris behold them adored in the assembly of the gods and rejoicing in heaven, in the company of Apsaras.
त्यक्त्वा तु विविधान् भोगान् प्राप्तानां परमां गतिम्। अपीदानीं सुयुद्धेन गच्छेयं यत्सलोकताम्॥ शूराणामार्यवृत्तानां संग्रामेष्वनिवर्तिनाम्। धीमतां सत्यसंघानां सर्वेषां ऋतुयाजिनाम्॥ शस्त्रावभृथपूतानां ध्रुवं वासस्त्रिविष्टपे। मुदा नूनं प्रपश्यन्ति युद्धे ह्यप्सरसां गणाः॥ पश्यन्ति नूनं पितरः पूजितान् सुरसंसदि। अप्सरोभिः परिवृतान् मोदमानांस्त्रिविष्टपे॥
