Those who do Gaudaan...get the help of a divine cow who helps them cross this river

Those who are higher souls..cross this river by air with the help of divine planes.

Answer 2

Vaitarni -‘(The river) to be crossed,’ it is, the river of hell, which must be Crossed before the infernal regions can be entered. This river is described as being filled with blood, ordure, and all sorts of filth, and to run with great impetuosity. A second river stated by the Maha-bharata to be in the country of the Kalingas; it must be the river of the same name (vulg. "Byeturnee”) somewhat higher up in Cuttack.

As per another source --
Vaitarni River is a graphic novel which takes its name from a single, curious poster discovered in an Indian spice shop on lower Polk Street in San Francisco (it was Christmas Day, but that's another story). The poster's subject matter attracted me for various reasons. For one, I've always been fascinated by the idea that the most inconsequential actions (like, not wearing a condom) could lead to the most dire consequences. For another, I've always found cruelty and indifference amusing. The poster's imagery seemed more reminiscent of the weird postcards that Mexican bus drivers plaster on their dashboards than the saccharine icons of conventional Hindu pop mythology from the subcontinent that I'd seen.

Vaitarni River, meaning - what? the river down which we all travel?
