Then Arjuna, his mind gladdened, bathed in the Gaṅgā and became purified. Thereafter, the son of Kuntī—delight of the Kurus—performed, in due ritual order, the recitation of a mantra fit to be repeated. The passage underscores disciplined self-purification and rule-guided devotion as a foundation for right action.
