puṇyatīrthānusaṃyānaṃ babhruvāhanajanma ca | tatraiva mokṣayāmāsa pañca so 'psarāḥ śubhāḥ |
It is related that Arjuna undertook a pilgrimage to sacred tīrthas. During that same period, Babhruvāhana was born from Citrāṅgadā. And on that very journey Arjuna granted release to five auspicious apsarases, who had been trapped in the form of crocodiles by the curse of an ascetic brāhmaṇa—showing how contact with dharma and compassionate action can undo the consequences of wrongdoing and restore beings to their proper state.
