Chapter 9
te tam bhuktva svargalokam visalam
ksine punye martyalokam visanti
evam trayidharmamanuprapanna
gatagatam kamakama labhante
Having enjoyed, the extensive heavenly world, they return to the world of mortals when they, exhaust their merit. Thus, taking recourse to action with interested motive, enjoined by the three Vedas, and seeking worldly enjoyments, they repeatedly come and go. 21
Comment:-
Te tam bhuktva svargalokam visalam kiln punye martyalokam visanti evam trayldharmamanuprapanna gatagatam kamakama labhante:-The heavenly world, has been called extensive, because it is vast, there age is longer, and pleasures are, in abundance.
Those who want to go to heaven, instead of depending on God, rely on actions with interested motive, enjoined by the three Vedas. They go to heaven and are obliged to return to this world, after their merits run out. Here again, they acquire merits and thus, the wheel of going and coming back, revolves.
If the meaning of 'Putapapa, of the previous verse, is taken, as those who are purged of all sins and the meaning of 'Ksine punye', is taken as those whose merits are destroyed, it means, that being free from all sins and merits, they should have been liberated from bondage. But they do not attain liberation, they, rather go and come. So the terms, mean that they are purged of only those sins which are obstacles to go to heaven; and their merits are exhausted after enjoying, heavenly pleasures. Therefore, reference is not, in context of the exhaustion of all their sins and merits.
