Vasiṣṭhāpavāha: Sarasvatī’s Diversion and Viśvāmitra’s Curse (वसिष्ठापवाहः)
तत्रेष्टवा पुरुषव्याप्रो ययाति: पृथिवीपति: । अक्रामदूर्ध्व मुदितो लेभे लोकांश्व पुष्कलान्
tatreṣṭvā puruṣavyāpro yayātiḥ pṛthivīpatiḥ | akrāmad ūrdhvaṃ mudito lebhe lokāṃś ca puṣkalān ||
Vaiśaṃpāyana dit : Là, le roi Yayāti—plein d’ardeur virile et seigneur de la terre—accomplit le sacrifice prescrit. Dans la joie, il s’éleva vers les mondes supérieurs et obtint d’abondants royaumes de mérite.

Educational Q&A
Rightly performed sacrificial duty (yajña as dharma) yields puṇya and leads to higher states of existence; disciplined action has corresponding spiritual fruit (karma-phala).
The narrator reports that King Yayāti performed a sacrifice at that place, became joyful, and then ascended upward to higher worlds where he attained many meritorious realms.
