Even exalted beings are bound by moral causality: a curse or wrongdoing must be endured, but completing one’s ordained duty with integrity allows restoration and return to one’s rightful state. The passage highlights karma, accountability, and the orderly governance of the cosmos.

The text summarizes that the Vasus take birth again through Gaṅgā in King Śāntanu’s household and, after the purpose of that birth is fulfilled, they ascend once more to heaven.
