特里班达那之子名萨提亚弗拉塔，世称“特里尚库”。因师长的诅咒，他堕为旃陀罗；后又凭考希迦（毗湿瓦密多）苦行威力，携肉身升至天界。诸天使其下坠，但因毗湿瓦密多之力未至尽落；至今仍可见其倒悬于苍穹，头朝下。
FAQs
This verse states that Triśaṅku ascended to heaven in the same body and is still visible in the sky, indicating the extraordinary effect of Viśvāmitra’s spiritual power.
Because Triśaṅku’s ascent was against their acceptance of who was fit for heaven; they attempted to expel him, but Viśvāmitra’s potency stopped them.
Actions and words—especially involving teachers and authority—carry consequences, and spiritual discipline (tejas) has real power; therefore one should act with humility, self-control, and respect for dharma.
