Translation

Bhṛgu, Atri, Gārgya, Vasiṣṭha et Kaṅka—avec des centaines d’innombrables sages voués à la discipline—ayant immergé leurs corps dans les eaux sacrées, atteignirent la perfection suprême et parvinrent aux mondes des Maruts ; non pas les autres (sans telle immersion et ascèse).

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.
