And in the region of Pitris, it is called Vaitarani, which is not crossable by the sinners, Krishna Dvaipayana has said that this auspicious and celestials river is accessible at all times by all. Why do you wish to bar us from it? It is not consonant with the eternal virtue.
तथा पितृन् वैतरणी दुस्तरा पापकर्मभिः। गङ्गा भवति वै प्राप्य कृष्णद्वैपायनोऽब्रवीत्॥ असम्बाधा देवनदी स्वर्गसम्पादनी शुभा। कथमिच्छसि तां रोर्बु नैष धर्मः सनातनः॥
