चतुष्पादस्त्वया धर्मश्चितो लोक्येन कर्मणा । अक्षयस्तव लोकोऽयं कीर्तिश्चैवाक्षया दिवि । पुनस्तवाद्य राजर्षे सुकृतेनेह कर्मणा॥५-१२१-७॥
Through action visible to the world and beneficial to all, you amassed a fourfold dharma. This realm of yours is imperishable, and your renown likewise is imperishable in heaven. And even today, O royal seer, by meritorious deeds done here, you have renewed that station.

आवृतं तमसा चेतः सर्वेषां स्वर्गवासिनाम् । येन त्वां नाभिजानन्ति ततोऽज्ञात्वासि पातितः॥५-१२१-८॥
The minds of all who dwell in heaven were veiled by darkness, and so they did not recognize you. Therefore, being unrecognized, you were made to fall from that state.
english translation
प्रीत्यैव चासि दौहित्रैस्तारितस्त्वमिहागतः । स्थानं च प्रतिपन्नोऽसि कर्मणा स्वेन निर्जितम् । अचलं शाश्वतं पुण्यमुत्तमं ध्रुवमव्ययम्॥५-१२१-९॥
Out of affection, your grandsons rescued you and you have arrived here. You have regained a station won by your own deeds—stable, enduring, meritorious, excellent, fixed, and not subject to loss.
