Gandharvas, Agni, and Soma all partake of the virgin bride; where in all creation was desire ever renounced? Gayatri herself consumes impurities from her own mouth, and the streams that join the Ganga become the Ganga. The holy peepal tree was born from a crow's droppings, and even the Pandava lineage is not without blemish. Shakuntala, Suta, Karna, Shringi, and Vyasa: their very names destroy all sins. Ganika, Ajamila, Kubja, Vidura, and the courtesan Pingala all show this truth upon reflection. Valmiki the robber, Vishwamitra, Vasishtha, and Narada: their pasts were far from pure. Deeds done by men and women that should never have been done are wiped away when, in remorse, one remembers Hari. Says Tuka, Shri Hari does not even recall the past; whoever digs up those old roots falls into hell.
