Viṣṇupurāṇa 2.3.4

- **Language:** Sanskrit

### [2.3.4](https://indike.org/pramana/in.purana.visnu.2.3.4)

ataḥ saṃprāpyate svargo muktim asmāt prayānti ca  
tiryaktvaṃ narakaṃ cāpi yānty ataḥ puruṣā mune //

> From this region heaven is obtained, or even, in some cases, liberation from existence; or men pass from hence into the condition of brutes, or fall into hell. Heaven, emancipation, a state in mid-air, or in the subterraneous realms, succeeds to existence here, and the world of acts is not the title of any other portion of the universe.  
> — Horace Hayman Wilson 1840, The Vishnu Purana: A System of Hindu Mythology and Tradition
