तमेवमुक्त्वा राजानं गङ्गां चाभाष्य लोककृत्।जगाम त्रिदिवं देवस्सहदेवैर्मरुद्गणै:।।1.42.25।।
tam evam uktvā rājānaṁ gaṅgāṁ cābhāṣya lokakṛt | jagāma tridivaṁ devas saha devair marudgaṇaiḥ ||1.42.25||
लोककर्ता देवाने राजाला असे सांगून आणि गंगेलाही संबोधून, देवगण व मरुद्गणांसह त्रिदिव (स्वर्ग) येथे प्रस्थान केले॥
O Delight of the Raghus! having vested the kingdom with Dilipa, Anshuman performed rigid penance on the sacred peak of the Himavat mountain.
Dharma proceeds through ordered delegation: once guidance is given, the seeker must act—divine help supports effort but does not replace it.
Brahmā concludes his counsel to Bhagīratha (and Gaṅgā) and returns to heaven with the gods and Maruts, ending the sarga’s divine audience.
Resolve in action—Bhagīratha must now approach Śiva, showing disciplined follow-through after receiving instruction.
