The verse underscores the dharmic ideal that sacred realities (like Gaṅgā) are integrated into human society through righteous kingship and lineage, framing holiness not as distant but as relational—honoured and protected within ethical order.
The text continues a genealogical account: a great king named Jahnu is introduced, and Gaṅgā is said to have attained the status of his daughter, indicating a famed traditional association between Jahnu and the river-goddess.
