Rahular Itihasa / M. N. Dutt · Shanti Parva Chapter 301 · Verse 19
Sanskrit Original
तत्र तान् प्रवहो वायुः प्रतिगृह्णाति भारत। वीतरागान् यतीन् सिद्धान् वीर्ययुक्तांस्तपोधनान्॥ सूक्ष्मः शीतः सुगन्धी च सुखस्पर्शश्च भारत। सप्तानां मरुतां श्रेष्ठो लोकान् गच्छति यः शुभान्। स तान् वहति कौन्तेय नभसः परमां गतिम्॥ नभो वहति लोकेश रजसः परमां गतिम्। रजो वहति राजेन्द्र सत्त्वस्य परमां गतिम्॥
Their attachments all dissipated, possesed of energy, endued with wealth of penances, and crowned with success, these Yatis, O Bharata, are carried by that wind, which is subtile, cooling, fragrant, and sweet to the touch, O Bharata! In fact, that wind which is the best of seven winds, and which blows in regions of great happiness, conveys them, O son of Kunti, to that which is the highest and in ether. Then ether into which they are carried, O king, conveys them to the highest and of Darkness.
