make one bliss of the human gandharvas, and of one learned in the Veda who is not struck by desire. A hundred blisses of the human gandharvas make one bliss of the divine gandharvas, and of one learned in the Veda who is not struck by desire. A hundred blisses of the divine gandharvas make one bliss of the ancestors, whose world lasts long, and of one learned in the Veda who is not struck by desire. A hundred blisses of the ancestors whose world lasts long make one bliss of the gods born in heaven,

Meaning today and contextआज के लिए अर्थ और संदर्भ

Taittiriya 2.8.2: the measure of bliss rises by hundreds through higher beings, and at each step the same bliss is said to belong to the learned person untouched by desire.
