dies in the mode of goodness, he attains to the pure higher planets.
PURPORT One in goodness
attains higher planetary systems, like Brahmaloka or Janoloka, and there
enjoys godly happiness. The word amalan is significant; it means
free from the modes of passion and ignorance. There are impurities in the
material world, but the mode of goodness is the purest form of existence
in the material world. There are different kinds of planets for different
kinds of living entities. Those who die in the mode of goodness are elevated
to the planets where great sages and great devotees live.
