Shloka 29
स्वर्गारोहणपर्व — तृतीयोऽध्यायः
Indra and Dharma’s Consolation; Celestial Gaṅgā Purification
अत्र स्नातस्य भावस्ते मानुषो विगमिष्यति । गतशोको निरायासो मुक्तवैरो भविष्यसि
atra snātasya bhāvas te mānuṣo vigamiṣyati | gataśoko nirāyāso muktavairo bhaviṣyasi ||
Vaiśampāyana disse: “Ao banhar-te aqui, tua condição humana se dissipará. Livre do pesar, sem esforço nem aflição, e solto de toda inimizade, assim te tornarás.”

Educational Q&A
Purification is presented as an inner transformation: through sacred bathing, sorrow and hostility are relinquished, and the person becomes fit for a higher, reconciled state beyond ordinary human limitations.
Vaiśampāyana describes the effect of bathing at this sacred spot (associated with the Mandākinī): the bather’s mortal disposition is said to fade, and they become free from grief, strain, and enmity—signaling readiness for the final ascent and resolution of lingering conflicts.
