Covered with infamy the Daityas were soon destroyed. O son of Pandu, the celestials, however, who were all of virtuous character, going to the seas, rivers and lakes and other sacred places, cleansed themselves of all their sins by means of asceticism and sacrifices, by gifts and blessings; and O Pandava, they obtained great prosperity. Because they thus abandoned all evil deeds and practised all good deeds,
निर्यशस्कास्तथा दैत्याः कृत्स्नशो विलयं गताः। देवास्तु सागरांश्चैव सरितश्च सरांसि च॥ अभ्यगच्छन्धर्मशीला: पुण्यान्यायतनानि च। तपोभिः क्रतुभिर्दानैराशीर्वादैश्च पाण्डव॥ प्रजहुः सर्वपापानि श्रेयश्च प्रतिपेदिरे। एवमादानवन्तश्च निरादानाश्च सर्वशः॥
