“The Shrimad Bhãgwat and other sacred scriptures state that it is extremely rare to receive a human birth in Bharat-khand, and that it can be equalled to receiving a chintãmani. In fact, even Indra and other demigods long for a human birth. The vishays, the affluence and opulence, as well as the lifespan of the demigods greatly exceed that of humans, yet they have no means of attaining liberation in their own realms. Only after receiving a human birth in Bharat-khand can one attain liberation. In no other place and with no other body is liberation possible. For this reason, attaining a human birth in Bharat-khand is better than being born in any of the other regions of Mrutyulok. Thus, there is no place in the 14 realms that can compare with Bharat-khand.”
