When a person wears on his head the mud available in the banks of Jaahnavi the Ganga, then his form transforms into a pure and flawless shape like that of the remover of Darkness, Sun himself.

When the dust and sand arising in the banks of Jahnavi the Ganga covers the body of a person he would develop the feel that he has transcended himself into a shining Divine being.
