“O Bhishma! kindly tell me about digging tanks for the welfare of people.” asked Dharmaja.
“O Dharmaja! tanks are the abode for divine bodies, animals etc. In tanks, cows drink water. Hence the person who dug that tank attain Punya Lokas. As long as the tanks remain with full of water, the name and fame of the person who dug those tanks, shall remain.
If trees are planted on the bund of the tank, those trees give shade to the passers by and also useful as place of stay for all kinds of birds. The fathers and fore fathers of the persons who dug tanks attain Punya Lokas.” said Bhishma.
