Di dalam gita-gita puja ''[[Atharwaweda|Atarwaweda]]'', Swarga dipahami sebagai Pitraloka, alam persemayaman atma leluhur. Hak untuk berdiam di Pitraloka merupakan pahala yang dikaruniakan kepada orang-orang yang mempersembahkan kurban-kurban. Kurban-kurban itu dikatakan serta-merta terangkat ke Swarga dan tersimpan di lumbung, menanti kedatangan atma orang yang mempersembahkannya. Di dalam salah satu gita puja, Swarga disifatkan sebagai alam permai penuh kembang teratai dan bunga seroja, danau-danau mentega berpantai madu, sungai-sungai yang mengalirkan aneka santapan seperti anggur, susu, dadih, dan air. Memuliakan tetamu dengan memberi hadiah juga dikatakan sebagai salah satu kebajikan yang mendatangkan pahala Swarga.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=OUloBHBEyOcC&dq=svarga+heaven&pg=PA59 |title=The Atharva-Veda Described: With a Classified Selection of Hymns, Explanatory Notes and Review |date=1897 |publisher=Christian Literature Socity for India |pages=59–60 |language=en}}</ref><!--
The [[Brahma Sutras|''Vedanta Shutra'']] explains the concept of [[Transmigration of a soul|transmigration]] from Svarga to Bhuloka. It indicates that a ''[[jiva]]'' (life force) that has performed sacrifices and [[Dāna|charitable acts]] ascends to Svarga, and when departing the abode and returning to earth, it descends as a raincloud, and is precipitated upon the earth as rain. When man consumes the food that is watered by the rain, it enters his semen, and during intercourse, enters a woman, to be reborn. It described "sampata" to be the term for the concept that allows one to ascend to heaven. It also states that the one who was of good conduct in Svarga attains the birth of a [[Brahmin]], [[Kshatriya]], or a [[Vaishya]], and that others are condemned to lesser births, such as other animals or outcastes.<ref>{{Cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=P7ZDAAAAYAAJ&dq=svarga+upanishads&pg=PA563 |title=The Taittirīya-upanishad |date=1903 |publisher=Printed at the C.
