Shloka 3
भवश्नानेन विप्रेण संहिताभिरभिष्टत: । स्वर्गद्वारे कृतोद्योगो येनासौ त्रिदिवं गत:,इन श्रेष्ठ ब्राह्मणने संहिताके मन्त्रोंद्वारा भगवान् शंकरका स्तवन किया था। इन्होंने स्वर्गलोक पानेकी साधना की थी, इसलिये ये स्वर्गमें गये हैं
bhavaśnānena vipreṇa saṃhitābhir abhiṣṭutaḥ | svargadvāre kṛtodyogo yenāsau tridivaṃ gataḥ ||
قال سُوريا: «إنّ ذلك البراهمن العالِم، بعدما أتمّ “اغتسال بهافا” (شعيرة شيفية) وسبّح الربّ شانكرا (Śaṅkara) بأناشيد السamhitā، جاهد بجهدٍ منضبط عند “باب السماء” نفسه؛ فلذلك بلغ عالم الآلهة (سفَرغا Svarga).»

Educational Q&A
The verse links spiritual attainment to disciplined effort joined with purity and devotion: ritual purification (Bhava-snana) and sincere praise of Śiva through authoritative hymns are presented as causes for reaching Svarga, emphasizing that inner intent and sustained practice lead to higher states.
Sūrya explains why a particular brāhmaṇa attained heaven: he performed a Śaiva purificatory bath, praised Śaṅkara using Saṃhitā-mantras, and exerted himself with a clear goal of reaching Svarga; as a result, he went to the divine realm (Tridiva).
