After one full year was completed, Iswara who is worshipped by all in all the worlds said to king Bhagiratha:
Dharma is celebrated publicly: righteous, beneficial transformations are not hidden; they become exemplars that inspire all beings.
The gods converge, eager to witness the extraordinary event of Gaṅgā’s descent.
