FAQs
It states that disciplined ethical conduct yields tangible spiritual “fruit,” culminating in purification from sin and attainment of a stable, exalted state in heaven.
In this verse it most naturally functions as an adjective meaning “one who does not fall/imperishable,” describing the person’s state; without additional context it need not denote the deity Viṣṇu (also called Acyuta).
Sustained virtue (ācāra and allied disciplines) is presented as a practical path to inner purification—sin is not treated as permanent, but as removable through right living and its karmic fruition.
