Translation:

Thus the King, the worthy descendant of the Pāṇḍavas, decided once and for all and sat on the
Ganges’ bank to fast until death and give himself up to the lotus feet of Lord Kṛṣṇa, who alone is able
to award liberation. So, freeing himself from all kinds of associations and attachments, he accepted
the vows of a sage.

Purport:

The water of the Ganges sanctifies all the three worlds, including the gods and the demigods,
because it emanates from the lotus feet of the Personality of Godhead, Viṣṇu. Lord Kṛṣṇa is
the fountainhead of the principle of viṣṇu-tattva, and therefore shelter of His lotus feet can
deliver one from all sins, including an offense committed by a king unto a brāhmaṇa.
Mahārāja Parīkṣit, therefore, decided to meditate upon the lotus feet of Lord Śrī Kṛṣṇa, who
is Mukunda, or the giver of liberations of all description. The banks of the Ganges or the
Yamunā give one a chance to remember the Lord continuously. Mahārāja Parīkṣit freed
himself from all sorts of material association and meditated upon the lotus feet of Lord Kṛṣṇa,
and that is the way of liberation. To be free from all material association means to cease
completely from committing any further sins. To meditate upon the lotus feet of the Lord
means to become free from the effects of all previous sins. The conditions of the material
world are so made that one has to commit sins willingly or unwillingly, and the best example
is Mahārāja Parīkṣit himself, who was a recognized sinless, pious king. But he also became a
victim of an offense, even though he was ever unwilling to commit such a mistake. He was
cursed also, but because he was a great devotee of the Lord, even such reverses of life
became favorable. The principle is that one should not willingly commit any sin in his life
and should constantly remember the lotus feet of the Lord without deviation. Only in such a
mood will the Lord help the devotee make regular progress toward the path of liberation and
thus attain the lotus feet of the Lord. Even if there are accidental sins committed by the
devotee, the Lord saves the surrendered soul from all sins, as confirmed in all scriptures.
