स्वजादन्यकृताच्चैव सर्वपापात् प्रमुच्यते । इस प्रकार सम्पूर्ण देवताओंमें जो चार वर्ण हैं

Bhishma disse: “Liberta-se de todo pecado—tanto dos nascidos das próprias ações quanto dos incorridos por associação com os atos de outros. Assim foram descritas as quatro ‘classes’ mencionadas entre as divindades. Quem se levanta pela manhã e recita o louvor dessas deidades torna-se livre de todo o acúmulo de pecado, seja feito por si mesmo, seja adquirido pelo contato com outros.”

Educational Q&A
Regular morning remembrance and praise of the described deities is presented as a purifying discipline that frees a person from sins arising from one’s own actions and from moral taint acquired through association with others.
Bhishma concludes a prior description of a fourfold classification among deities and states the fruit (phala) of reciting their praise at dawn: release from the accumulated burden of sin, including that gained through contact with others.
