The verse highlights pitṛ-dharma (duty toward one’s father/ancestors): after a parent’s death, performing śrāddha at a sacred tīrtha is presented as a righteous, socially and spiritually sanctioned obligation.
Bhīṣma recounts that after King Śāntanu’s death, he traveled to Gaṅgādvāra (Haridwar) to carry out the śrāddha ceremonies for his father.
