Shloka 29
स्वर्गारोहणपर्व — तृतीयोऽध्यायः
Indra and Dharma’s Consolation; Celestial Gaṅgā Purification
अत्र स्नातस्य भावस्ते मानुषो विगमिष्यति । गतशोको निरायासो मुक्तवैरो भविष्यसि
atra snātasya bhāvas te mānuṣo vigamiṣyati | gataśoko nirāyāso muktavairo bhaviṣyasi ||
قال فايشَمبايانا: «إذا اغتسلتَ هنا زالت عنك حالُ البشر. وتغدو متحرّرًا من الحزن، بلا عناء ولا كَدَر، ومُطلَقًا من العداوة».

Educational Q&A
Purification is presented as an inner transformation: through sacred bathing, sorrow and hostility are relinquished, and the person becomes fit for a higher, reconciled state beyond ordinary human limitations.
Vaiśampāyana describes the effect of bathing at this sacred spot (associated with the Mandākinī): the bather’s mortal disposition is said to fade, and they become free from grief, strain, and enmity—signaling readiness for the final ascent and resolution of lingering conflicts.
