गङ्गामाहात्म्य — The Greatness of the Gaṅgā
मृत्तिकां खनितां ते चोदधितीरे समाकिरन् । तद्द्वारेण गताः सर्वे पातालं सगरात्मजाः ॥ ९३ ॥
mṛttikāṃ khanitāṃ te codadhitīre samākiran | taddvāreṇa gatāḥ sarve pātālaṃ sagarātmajāḥ || 93 ||
Họ đổ đống đất đã đào lên nơi bờ biển; và chính qua cửa mở ấy, toàn thể các con trai của Sagara đã đi vào cõi Pātāla (địa giới).

It highlights how intense worldly pursuit can literally and symbolically drive one “downward” into deeper realms (Pātāla), illustrating karmic momentum and the consequences of forceful, unchecked action.
By contrast: the Sagara sons proceed through a self-made opening created by effort and urgency, whereas Bhakti emphasizes surrender and alignment with dharma—seeking the Divine rather than compulsive pursuit of outcomes.
No specific Vedanga (Śikṣā, Vyākaraṇa, Jyotiṣa, etc.) is taught in this verse; it is primarily an Itihāsa-Purāṇic narrative detail used to frame dharma and karmic consequence.
