The verse highlights that the final reckoning of human life—especially of dharmic struggle and its consequences—is not merely social or personal but cosmic: the gods stand as witnesses, implying that dharma is upheld within a larger moral order.
In the Svargārohaṇa context, a divine gathering is being described: Indra (Śakra) arrives accompanied by the Maruts, the Vasus, and the twin Aśvins, signaling a celestial reception and the presence of major deities at the culmination of the protagonists’ journey.
