Educational Q&A
Purification is framed as both ritual and ethical: bathing at a sacred place, completing the proper water-rite, and maintaining purity for a set observance (seven nights) are said to remove sin and lead to higher spiritual reward (attaining devaloka).
Ajadriya describes the fruit of a specific sacred observance connected with the Devadāru forest: one bathes there, performs the prescribed water-ritual, stays for seven nights in purity, and thereby gains the merit that leads to the gods’ realm.
