''[[Bagawatapurana]]'' menyatakan bahwa Swarga adalah alam yang diperuntukkan bagi orang yang sanggup membedakan baik-buruk perbuatan, dan mengasihi sesama manusia dengan berbuat kebajikan bagi mereka. Menurut pustaka ini, orang baik dan berbudi luhur lagi bertakwa adalah jenis orang yang dapat naik ke Swarga, yang disifatkan sebagai alam kenikmatan, tempat kemerduan alunan musik surgawi, keelokan rupa makhluk surgawi, dan rupa-rupa benda surgawi berjaya memuaskan hasrat insan mana pun. Lama waktu berdiam di Swarga ditentukan oleh seberapa banyak [[Punya (Hindu)|''punya'']] (jasabudi pekerti yang luhur) yang sudah diperbuat orang semasa hidup di dunia.<!-- Kecerdasan bertarafyang tinggimumpuni saja tidak cukup memadai untuk membuatmelayakkan seseorang layakuntuk naik ke Swarga, iatingkat haruskesucian pulabatinnya memilikipun mencapaiharus necessary level of spiritualitymemadai.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Sinha |first=Purnendu Narayana |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=GIBBAAAAYAAJ&dq=svargaloka+puranas&pg=PA236 |title=A Study of the Bhagavata Purana: Or, Esoteric Hinduism |date=1901 |publisher=Freeman & Company, Limited |pages=236 |language=en}}</ref>

The epic describes the legend of King [[Trishanku]], who had been promised a place in Svarga by the sageBegawan [[VishvamitraWiswamitra]]. The sage engaged in a solitary [[yajna]] to achieve this, not joined by other sages due to instructions from Sage [[Vasishtha|Vasishta]]. Due to the power of the sage's ceremony, the king ascended to the gates of Svarga. The devas reported this to Indra, who angrily kicked Trishanku from the abode because of his low birth, sending him hurtling towards the earth. Vishvamitra was able to halt his fall mid-way during his descent, and so the king was left suspended in the air. Indra opted to create a new Svarga below his own Svarga as a compromise, just for the residence of Trishanku. In retort, Vishvamitra created a new Indra and devas to occupy the new heaven with the king. Terrified of the powers of the sage, Indra relented, and personally carried Trishanku to the real Svarga on his own golden ''[[vimana]]''.<ref>{{Cite web |last=www.wisdomlib.org |date=2019-01-28 |title=Story of Triśaṅku |url=https://www.wisdomlib.org/hinduism/compilation/puranic-encyclopaedia/d/doc242012.html |access-date=2022-10-25 |website=www.wisdomlib.org |language=en}}</ref>
