History of Dharmashastra (Ancient and Mediaeval Religious and Civil Law in India) v7.c93.212

v7.c93.212

P. M. S. IV. 3 15. provides that *svarga*¹⁹⁶⁹ is the reward of all religious acts (such as Viśvajit) for which no express reward is provided by the texts. Śabara states 'happiness is *svarga* and all seek that'; an old verse says 'that state of happiness in which there is no mixing of pain, which is not immediately overwhelmed by pain, that comes to one when one desires it, is called by the word *svar* (*svarga*)'.
