FAQs
In 3.33.32, Devahūti’s mortal condition is described as being washed away by her yogic attainment, and she becomes a sacred river—foremost among streams—capable of granting spiritual perfection and revered by siddhas.
Because her transformed form as a holy river is said to bestow spiritual success (siddhi-dā) and to be honored by perfected beings (siddha-sevitā), indicating exceptional sanctity and potency for purification.
It teaches that sincere spiritual practice can cleanse the “mortal” conditioning of the heart; by steady yoga centered on devotion and truth, one’s life can become a source of upliftment for others—like a sacred stream that purifies those who approach it.
