Land-gift episode; Pṛthivī Kāśyapī; Utathya–Varuṇa dispute
यावच्च जायते मर्त्यस्तावच्छूरो भविष्यति । वह अपने सारे पापोंको धो डालता है और परलोकमें आधिपत्य प्राप्त करता है। फिर जब वह मनुष्ययोनिमें जन्म लेता है, तब शूरवीर होता है

スカンダは宣言する。「人がなお死すべき者として生まれ続けるかぎり、彼は幾度も英雄の気魄をもって生まれる。行いの浄化の果によって積もる罪を洗い去り、来世において主権を得る。そして再び人として生まれ来るとき、また勇気と英雄の資質を授かるのである。」
स्कन्द उवाच
Educational Q&A
The verse links moral-spiritual consequence with character across births: by the fruit of one’s deeds (especially those praised in this context), sin is purified, higher status is gained in the next world, and on returning to human birth one is naturally endowed with heroic valor.
Skanda is speaking and describing the continuing results of a person’s conduct across the cycle of births—attainment in the other world and the reappearance of bravery when reborn among humans.
