Anshuman’s Search for the Horse and the Counsel to Bring Ganga
गङ्गा हिमवतो ज्येष्ठा दुहिता पुरुषर्षभ।तस्यां कुरु महाबाहो पितृ़णां तु जलक्रियाम्।।।।
gaṅgā himavato jyeṣṭhā duhitā puruṣarṣabha | tasyāṃ kuru mahābāho pitṝṇāṃ tu jalakriyām ||
گنگا، ہِماوت کی سب سے بڑی دختر ہے، اے مردوں کے سردار، اے قوی بازو! اسی کے جل سے اپنے پِتروں کے لیے آبی کرم (جل کریا) ادا کر۔
'O Best among men! O Mighty-armed one! perform the traditional rites of your uncles with water from river Ganga, the eldest daughter of Himavat'.
Dharma is fulfilled through sanctifying means: sacred resources (Gaṅgā) are prescribed to complete duties toward ancestors properly.
Garuḍa directs Anśumān to use Gaṅgā’s water for the rites, indicating a future solution to liberate the departed.
Reverence for sacred tradition and obedience to righteous counsel.
