Trai-vidya mam soma-pah puta-papa yajnair ishtva svar-gatim prarthayante, te punyam asadya surendra-lokam ashnanti divyan divi deva-bhogan
Those who study the Vedas, drink soma juice, and worship Me through sacrifices with the desire to go to heaven, attain the holy world of Indra. There they enjoy divine pleasures. Those motivated by worldly or heavenly rewards reach temporary realms of enjoyment but not final liberation.
- •Vedic rituals performed for heavenly rewards yield only temporary results
- •Desire-driven worship leads to impermanent destinations
- •True liberation requires going beyond the pursuit of heavenly pleasures
