Land-gift episode; Pṛthivī Kāśyapī; Utathya–Varuṇa dispute
यावच्च जायते मर्त्यस्तावच्छूरो भविष्यति । वह अपने सारे पापोंको धो डालता है और परलोकमें आधिपत्य प्राप्त करता है। फिर जब वह मनुष्ययोनिमें जन्म लेता है, तब शूरवीर होता है

斯迦陀宣示：“只要此人仍不断以凡身受生，他便将一再以英雄之气而生。凭其行持所结之净化之果，他洗尽积罪，于来世得主宰之位；及其复归人身，又复具勇猛与豪侠之性。”

The verse links moral-spiritual consequence with character across births: by the fruit of one’s deeds (especially those praised in this context), sin is purified, higher status is gained in the next world, and on returning to human birth one is naturally endowed with heroic valor.
Skanda is speaking and describing the continuing results of a person’s conduct across the cycle of births—attainment in the other world and the reappearance of bravery when reborn among humans.
