Analysis :
Arjuna bases his argument not on his own experience ,but on what he has heard from the authorities. That is the way of recieving real knowledge . one cannot reach the real point of factual knowledge without being helped by the right person who is already established in that knowledge.
There is a system in the varnasrama instititution in which one has to undergo the process of ablution before death
for his sinful activities. one who is always engaged in sinful activities must must utilise the process of
ablution called as the prayascitta. Without doing so, one surely will be transferred to hellish planets to
undergo miserable lives as the result of sinful activities.
