Bhṛgu, Atri, Gārgya, Vasiṣṭha und Kaṅka—zusammen mit Hunderten unzähliger, in Zucht stehender ṛṣis—erlangten, nachdem sie ihre Leiber in den heiligen Wassern untertauchten, die höchste Vollendung und gelangten in die Welten der Maruts; nicht aber andere (ohne solche heilige Immersion und Disziplin).

FAQs

Purity through disciplined observance and holy immersion is portrayed as a direct cause of supreme spiritual attainment.

By Revā Khaṇḍa context, the sacred waters are those of the Narmadā (Revā).

Snāna/immersion (jala-pluta-aṅga) undertaken with niyama (discipline) is emphasized.
