आग्नीध्रो राजातृप्तः कामानामप्सरसमेवानुदिनमधिमन्यमानस्तस्याः सलोकतां श्रुतिभिरवारुन्ध यत्र पितरो मादयन्ते. ॥ २२ ॥
agnidhro rajatrptaḥ kamanam apsarasam evanudinam adhi-
manyamanas tasyaḥ salokatam srutibhir avarundha yatra pitaro madayante. agnidhraḥ-Agnidhra; raja-the King; atrptaḥ-not satisfied; kamanam-with sense gratification; apsarasam-the celestial woman (Pūrvacitti); eva-certainly; anudinam-day after day; adhi-exceedingly; manyamanaḥ-thinking of; tasyaḥ-of her; sa-lokatam-promotion to the same planet; srutibhiḥ-by the Vedas; avarundha-got; yatra-where; pitaraḥ-the forefathers; madayante-take pleasure.
TRANSLATION
After Pūrvacitti's departure, King Agnidhra, 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 Pitrloka, is where the pitas, the forefathers, live in great delight.
PURPORT
If one always thinks of something, he certainly gets a related body after death. Maharaja Agnidhra was always thinking of Pitrloka, the place where his wife had returned. Therefore after his death he achieved that same planet, probably to live with her again. Bhagavad-gita also says:
yam yam vapi smaran bhavam
tyajaty ante kalevaram tam tam evaiti kaunteya sada tad-bhava-bhavitaḥ "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 Krsna or become fully Krsna conscious, we can be promoted to the planet of Goloka Vrndavana, where Krsna eternally lives.
