105.3

vyādhito yadi vā dīno vṛddho vāpi bhavennaraḥ
gaṅgāyamunayormadhye yastu prāṇānparityajet //

The good sages say that the diseased, the meek and the old who give up their lives at the confluence of the Ganges and the Yamunâ go in a vimâna, of the lustre of the gold, or that of the Sun surrounded by the celestial nymphs, and all his desires are fulfilled. The departed spirit till it thinks of re-birth, is honored in the heaven wearing precious stones and seated in a vimâna, streaming with myriads of buntings and flags, surrounded by the celestial nymphs singing beautiful songs melodiously.—3-6.
