ते तं भुक्त्वा स्वर्गलोकं विशालं- क्षीणे पुण्ये मत्र्यलोकं विश | Bhagwat Geeta

ते तं भुक्त्वा स्वर्गलोकं विशालं-
क्षीणे पुण्ये मत्र्यलोकं विशन्ति।
एवं त्रयीधर्ममनुप्रपन्ना-
गतागतं कामकामा लभन्ते॥ २१॥

वे उस विशाल स्वर्गलोकके (भोगोंको) भोगकर पुण्य क्षीण होनेपर मृत्युलोकमें आ जाते हैं। इस प्रकार तीनों वेदोंमें कहे हुए सकाम धर्मका आश्रय लिये हुए भोगोंकी कामना करनेवाले मनुष्य आवागमनको प्राप्त होते हैं।

Having enjoyed the extensive heaven -world, they return to this world of mortals on the stock of their merits being exhausted. Thus devoted to the ritual with interested motive, recommended by the three Vedas as the means of attaining heavenly bliss, and seeking worldly enjoyments, they repeatedly come and go (i.e., ascend to heaven by virtue of their merits and return to earth when their fruit has been enjoyed). (9:21)
