सलोकतां श्रुतिभिरवारुन्ध यत्र पितरो मादयन्ते ॥२२॥
ÄgnÄ«dhro rÄjÄtá¹›ptaḥ kÄmÄnÄm apsarasam evÄnudinam adhi-manyamÄnas tasyÄḥ salokatÄá¹ Å›rutibhir avÄrundha yatra pitaro mÄdayante
ÄgnÄ«dhraḥ - Ä€gnÄ«dhra; rÄjÄ - the King; atá¹›ptaḥ - not satisfied; kÄmÄnÄm - with sense gratification; apsarasam - the celestial woman (PÅ«rvacitti); eva - certainly; anudinam - day after day; adhi - exceedingly; manyamÄnaḥ - thinking of; tasyÄḥ - of her; sa-lokatÄm - promotion to the same planet; Å›rutibhiḥ - by the Vedas; avÄrundha - got; yatra - where; pitaraḥ - the forefathers; mÄdayante - take pleasure.
After PÅ«rvacitti’s departure, King Ä€gnÄ«dhra, his lusty desires not at all satisfied, always thought of her. Therefore, in accordance with the Vedic injunctions, the King, after his death, was promoted to the same planet as his celestial wife. That planet, which is called Pitá¹›loka, is where the pitÄs, the forefathers, live in great delight.
If one always thinks of something, he certainly gets a related body after death. MahÄrÄja Ä€gnÄ«dhra was always thinking of Pitá¹›loka, the place where his wife had returned. Therefore after his death he achieved that same planet, probably to live with her again. Bhagavad-gÄ«tÄ also says:
yaá¹ yaá¹ vÄpi smaran bhÄvaá¹
tyajaty ante kalevaram
taá¹ tam evaiti kaunteya
sadÄ tad-bhÄva-bhÄvitaḥ
“Whatever state of being one remembers when he quits his body, that state he will attain without fail.†(Bg. 8.6) We can naturally conclude that if we always think of Kṛṣṇa or become fully Kṛṣṇa conscious, we can be promoted to the planet of Goloka Vá¹›ndÄvana, where Kṛṣṇa eternally lives.
